"We don't yet know if the Court has invalidated all software patents."
- revscat 12y agoFrom the live blog: "[T]he claims 'do not, for example, purport to improve the functioning of the computer itself or effect an improvement in any other technology or technical field. An instruction to apply the abstract idea of intermediated settlement using some unspecified, generic computer is not "enough" to transform the abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention.'" Does anyone have a link to the actual decision? The most recent decisions on supremecourt.gov are from 2013. Edit: found it. [1] Separately, no decision on ABC vs. Aereo issued today. Aereo lives to see another day, then. Good. [1] http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-298_7lh8.pdf http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-298_7lh8.pdf
