When a computer program is claimed in a process where the computer is executing the computer program's instructions, USPTO personnel should treat the claim as a process claim. **When a computer program is recited in conjunction with a physical structure, such as a computer memory, USPTO personnel should treat the claim as a product claim.** Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:11:09 +0000 http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-76384#post-226572 http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-76384/uspto:2106-01-computer-related-nonstatutory-subject-matter-r#post-226572 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:30:11 +0000 zoobab 2946 http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/documents/2100_2106_01.htm
