Since the seminal State Street Bank decision, business methods have become patentable subject matter. But just how broadly should “patentable subject matter” be defined? What happens when business methods are divorced from technology? Could In Re Bilski vaporize business method patents? What effects could that have on an economy that has granted business method patents not tied to any form of technology? Will the Federal Circuit’s upcoming decision likely produce a Supreme Court decision?
