A Madness to its Method: Cert Petition Filed in Bilski
Posted on January 29th, 2009 by Derek Bambauer
In re Bilski set the patent world aflutter when the Federal Circuit held that business methods, as exemplified in Bilski, fail to qualify as patentable subject matter under Section 101 of the Patent Act. Now, there is a cert petition to the Supreme Court to hear Bilski’s appeal. I’m rapidly reading the petition and will post soon (though probably not until after class this afternoon) with my thoughts on the merits. Bilski was a hot topic at the tax patents panel at the AALS.
