Catchword
The mere presentation of a speaker's state by a microphone's light indicator to the audience of a conference system does not credibly assist a user in performing a technical task by means of a continued and/or guided human-machine interaction process within the meaning of T 336/14 and T 1802/13 and thus cannot bring about a
technical
effect (see points 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 of the Reasons).
