Summary
The invention in both of these applications relates to the transfer of data between databases, and the modification of database structures in an Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) system.
The hearing officer considered the four-step test in Aerotel/Macrossan in the light of the Symbian judgment, and found the contribution in both applications to relate to computer program for the transfer and manipulation of data. The Hearing Officer could find no technical contribution and so refused the application under Section 18(3).
