I. A record carrier characterised by having functional data recorded thereon is not a presentation of information as such and hence not excluded from patentability by Article 52(2)(d) and (3) EPC (reasons 3.3).
II. In this context functional data includes a data structure defined in terms (here coded picture line synchronisations, line numbers, and addresses) which inherently comprise the technical features of the system (here read device plus record carrier) in which the record carrier is operative (extending T 163/85, Colour television signal/BBC, OJ EPO 1990, 379).
