Summary

The invention relates to a system and method for regularizing data between a data source and a data destination database comprising a data processing arrangement to fetch data, such as documents, from the data source and transform fields, such as title, date etc., within that data that deviate from a pre-defined data format for specific data categories, such as patents, sales reports etc., into the pre-defined data format and transmit the resulting regularized data to a data destination database.

The Hearing Officer applied the Aerotel/Macrossan four step test, considered the AT&T/CVON signposts and found that the contribution fell within the excluded categories as a computer program as such. The application was refused under section 18(3).
