Australia: On 16 September 2025, the Full Federal Court of Australia delivered judgment in Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents [2025] FCAFC 131, a significant decision concerning the patentability of computer-implemented inventions in the context of electronic gaming machines (EGMs). The Court allowed Aristocrat’s appeal, overturning the primary judge’s decision on remitter and finding that the residual claims were patentable subject matter.

This landmark agreement marks the first collaboration between PT Tirta Sentosa Abadi and The Ascott Limited.
