EPA, T 1769/10 vom 12.4.2011: Patentierbarer Internet remote game server
Aus der Entscheidungsbegründung:
The technical solution involving technical means as claimed to the above technical problem essentially is to let the server for maintaining the player database communicate with a plurality of game outcome servers, with respective, different games. The server for maintaining the player database is physically separate and located remote from the game outcome servers. The game outcome servers are not allowed direct access to the player database, such that confidentiality of the player database is maintained. Player access is improved by letting the player navigate to each game outcome server through a game access interface offering game links to game outcome server-supported games at the game outcome servers through a game access interface supported by the player management server and displayable by the identified client device and without the player having to register or log-on into the game outcome servers.
