Does the SPLT touches to the subject matter (what is patentable and what is not)? —Preceding

Whether
patentable subject-matter should be covered by the SPLT still appears to be a matter of debate:
While the [Standing Committee on the Law of Patents] agreed in principle on a number of issues, such as the scope of the SPLT, the right to a patent,
novelty,
inventive step/non-obviousness or the requirement of
sufficient disclosure, some provisions, such as patentable subject matter or the exceptions to
patentability, raised concerns about the available flexibility in respect of national policies, recognized under current international treaties.[1]
