As taken from the January 15th LSIPR Newsletter:
"The claim must include additional features to ensure that it describes a process or product that applies the exception in a meaningful way, such that it is more than a drafting effort designed to monopolise the exception. Examples qualifying as “significantly more” include:
• Improvements to another technology or technical field;
• Improvements to the functioning of a computer itself;
• Applying the judicial exception with, or by use of, a particular machine;
• Effecting a transformation or reduction of a particular article to a different state or thing;
• Adding a specific limitation other than what is well-understood, or routine in the field; and
• Adding unconventional steps that confine the claim to a particular useful application. "
