Summary
The invention (which could be computer implemented) provided: (1) a text, (2) a programme or instructions on how to solve a problem based on, and possibly contained in, the text, (3) a formula, not necessarily mathematical, and which could in simple cases constitute the programme, containing variables to be used in solving the problem, (4) a list of possible values of variables for insertion into the formula, (5) choice of values from the list in order to solve the problem; and (6) display of the resulting solution. Refusing the application, the hearing officer held that, insofar as the invention was new and had an inventive step, it contributed (applying the Aerotel test) solely in the above excluded fields and was not technical in nature.
