-------- Original Message --------

The Commissioner of Patents is pleased to announce that she has
authorised a revised chapter Chapter 12 of the MOPOP on the subject of
/Subject-Matter and Utility/ and a revised Chapter 13 of the MOPOP on
the subject of /Examination of Applications/.

The revised chapters have an in-effect date of December 2009.  Practices
expressed in the MOPOP arise from the Office's interpretation of the
/Patent Act/, /Patent Rules/ and jurisprudence as of the date each
chapter came into effect.

The February 2005 version of Chapter 16, /Computer-Implemented
Inventions/, is presently being revised by the Patent Office; the
guidance in this version may not accurately reflect Office practice and
should not be relied on insofar as it is not consistent with more recent
guidance.  Readers are referred to Chapter 12 for current guidance
respecting computer-implemented inventions.  A revised version of
Chapter 16 is expected to be available for public consultation in Spring
2010.

The chapters are available via the CIPO web site at:
