The case involves a patent application by Pittsburgh businessmen Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw for a way to help utility companies and their customers to regularize costs by considering factors of supply, demand, and weather. No justice who spoke seemed to view the process as patent-eligible, but it was not certain that a vote against the Bilski-Warsaw patent would sweep away patents for computer software or medical diagnostics, as some have feared.
