Summary

The application relates to the purchase of products over the Internet, and provides a website interface that presents information regarding the price and delivery dates of a particular product against a list of retailers. This allows a customer to decide at a glance whether to trade off the cost of a product with it's time of delivery, and for retailers to present a number of delivery schedules per product where price is varied depending on delivery time. It was common ground that the application related to a method of doing business, and the hearing officer then went on to find that the improved transaction interface did not provide a technical contribution required to make an otherwise excluded invention patentable.
