Orientierungssatz
The choice of where to put an object on a computer display depending on a value assigned to that object (its "urgency") can not be considered to have a further technical effect. Furthermore, the movement of the object on the display in response to a change of said value is also considered not to have a further technical effect (see Reasons 3.3.1).

ORDER

For these reasons it is decided that:

1. The appealed decision is set aside.

2. The case is remitted to the department of first instance for further prosecution on the basis of claims 1 and 24 of auxiliary request 1 as submitted with letter of 9 April 2013.
