IPO The claims relate to an electronic payment method and the Claimant alleged that they are excluded from patentability as not being an invention, are not novel, and lack an inventive step. The hearing officer found that the claims were both novel and inventive but found that all the claims of the patent are excluded from patentability. He therefore ordered the patent to be revoked in accordance with Section 72(1) of the Patents Act 1977
