Summary

The invention related to a development environment for creation of a new control webpage for a controller device, whereby the development environment is stored in the controller device and is provided in a user device where it could, for example, be accessible from within a web browser. The hearing officer found that the claimed invention was excluded from patentability as a program for a computer as such, and also lacked novelty. He therefore refused the application.
