Summary
The application is concerned with computer-implemented methods of assigning priority values to actual or potential incidents on a communications network. The methods consider, inter-alia, subjective data such as status checks submitted by users. The priority values are suitable for use in prioritising deployment of maintenance resources.
Having followed the approach of Aerotel and considered the AT&T/CVON signposts, the Hearing Officer found that the contribution was excluded under section 1(2)(c) as a method for doing business and a program for a computer as such.
The application was refused under section 18(3).
