The EFF said that the Federal court had been influenced by possible negative consequences of mass invalidation of patents [1]: Warning of a 'free fall of the patent system,' Judge Moore wrote: 'Let’s be clear: if all of these claims, including the system claims, are not patent-eligible, this case is the death of hundreds of thousands of patents, including all business method, financial system, and software patents as well as many computer implemented and telecommunications patents.'
Clearly they are concerned to reduce the force of this kind of argument on SCOTUS.
