Direct TV Pty Ltd (Patent): IPO 4 May 2011

The application relates to the production of flexible media presentations, in which the content of at least some of the presentation can be varied as the media presentation is displayed on a device such as a CRT or LCD screen. The Hearing Officer applied the Aerotel/Macrossan test, as modified by Symbian, and decided that the contribution made by the invention fell solely within excluded matter. He also concluded that the contribution did not have a relevant technical effect. The application was refused as being a program for a computer as such.
