Summary
The invention related to a device for accepting, processing, verifying, unencrypting, tracking, displaying and coordinating data with other similar devices, the data being derived from systems which generate currency in proportion to the amount of energy which they measure, said exchange of data taking place across a common data exchange network. The hearing officer found that the claimed invention was excluded from patentability as a method of doing business as such and, when implemented on a computer, as a program for a computer as such. He also found that the invention was not disclosed clearly and completely enough to be performed by the person skilled in the art. He therefore refused the application.
