Bilski Beatdown: Holders of Business Method Patents May Be Holding "Worthless Stock" (271)
カリフォルニア北部連邦地裁での判決です。“over the Internet” との記述では特定の機械や装置に結びついたことにならないと判示されたのが中々興味深いです。

This court is now presented with the question of whether recitation of “over the Internet” suffices to tie a process claim to a particular machine. There are at least three reasons why it does not.

Patentable Subject Matter Redux: Bilski 2009　 (PatentlyO)
In February 2009, the Board of Patent Appeals (BPAI) issued nine decisions that touched on Bilski and patentable subject matter under Section 101 of the Patent Act. In eight of the cases, the BPAI either affirmed an examiner's Section 101 rejection (five cases) or entered a new ground of rejection under Section 101 (three cases). In the remaining case, the BPAI remanded - asking the examiner to consider wether the claims were patentable under Section 101. All nine cases were related to software or electronics type applications.

BilskiのCAFC大法廷判決に対し、Equitable Resources Inc. (Bilski)は最高裁へPetitionを提出しました。
(from PatentlyO)
Bilski Petitions the Supreme Court to Decide Issues of Patentable Subject Matter
The petition asks two questions:
Whether the Federal Circuit erred by holding that a “process” must be tied to a particular machine or apparatus, or transform a particular article into a different state or thing … despite this Court’s precedent declining to limit the broad statutory grant of patent eligibility for “any” new and useful process beyond excluding patents for “laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas.”
Whether the Federal Circuit’s “machine-or-transformation” test for patent eligibility, which effectively forecloses meaningful patent protection to many business methods, contradicts the clear Congressional intent that patents protect “method[s] of doing or conducting business.” 35 U.S.C. § 273.

Federal Circuit Invalidates Immunization Patent for lack of Patentable Subject Matter
Classen Immunotherapies v. Biogen IDEC (Fed. Cir. 2008)(Nonprecedential)

"In light of our decision in In re Bilski, 545 F.3d 943 (Fed. Cir. 2008) (en banc), we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment that these claims are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Dr. Classen's claims are neither "tied to a particular machine or apparatus" nor do they "transform[] a particular article into a different state or thing." Bilski, 545 F.3d at 954. Therefore we affirm."

BPAI: PTO Should Apply Broadest Reasonable Claim Interpretation to Section 101 Analysis
Ex parte Koo (BPAI 2008)
Acting sua sponte, a BPAI panel recently entered a new ground for rejection against an IBM patent application: That the claimed process is unpatentable subject matter based on the Federal Circuit's recent en banc decision in Bilski. The claim is directed to a method of optimizing relational database queries and appears to be specifically directed to speeding up queries where a table is joined to itself...(more)
