Summary

The invention related to a message delivery system where member configuration data with a prioritised message list is used to deliver audio messages to recipient client devices. A selection of messages is delivered to a recipient based upon criteria designated by the sender and the recipient so that a limited number of the most important messages can be received on a prioritised basis. The hearing officer held that the invention did not make a technical contribution and lay solely in the excluded fields of a program for a computer as such and a method of doing business as such. He therefore refused the application.
