Summary

The systems and methods disclosed provide a conversion capability to transform page-based applications of a web service to component based applications which use messages to access functions of the web service. The component application produced is transferred to a device and may be converted to native code for execution or interpreted by a software module or operating system on the device.

The Hearing Officer considered the four-step test in Aerotel/Macrossan in the light of the Symbian judgment, and found the contribution to relate to methods and systems for converting applications via a computer program. The Hearing Officer could find no technical contribution and so refused the applications under Section 18(3).
