Summary
The application was concerned with a method of creating items according to a schedule based on the location to which the items were to be transported. The examiner had not searched the application because in his view it related to a method of doing business. A report under s18(3) had been issued to the effect that the invention was not patentable by virtue of section 1(2)(c) and offering the applicant the opportunity to be heard or withdraw the application. In the absence of any response from the applicant the HO refused the application on the grounds that the invention related to a method of doing business and was thus excluded.
