Summary
The invention relates to a mobile application development tool that provides a network based automated application fusion platform (AFP) that allows integration of multiple third party functions into a mobile application. The invention intends to reduce the mobile application development cycle by providing an AFP that does not require a source code, instead the AFP allows a developer to select desired plugins which are then fused to an application.
The Hearing Officer applied the four-step approach set out in the Court of Appeal judgment in Aerotel, and considered the signposts provided by AT&T/CVON. The Hearing Officer found the contribution fell solely within the excluded matter as a computer programme as such. The application was refused.
