All patent appeals go to a special Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that is stuffed with IP lawyers and is extremely pro-patents. Their caselaw is filled with numerous nonsensical decisions. Only in the past 10 years has SCOTUS been giving them the equivalent of a spanking, repeatedly taking up patent cases to dismantle the CAFC's decisions. The Oracle v Google trial ended up there thanks to the patent claims Oracle raised. If you've read their decision in that case it doesn't matter if you believe APIs should be copyrighted... the decision is incompetently written on its face.
