The decision considered whether the invention was excluded under section 1(2). The application relates to a method of generating a ‘decision tree’ to show the decisions taken as well as other factors considered when modeling the performance of oil reservoirs. Applying the four-stage test set out in Aerotel/Macrossan the hearing officer found the invention to relate solely to the presentation of information and to a computer program as such. The hearing officer could find no saving amendments hence he refused the application under section 18(3).
