Comment on Supreme Court rules on software patent case Alice Corp v. CLS Bank [pdf]

Comments

"Held: Because the claims are drawn to a patent-ineligible abstract idea, they are not patent eligible"

(Decided unanimously.)

a concurrent not dissenting opinion was filed so it wasn't a 5-4 split or something, the other justices came to the same conclusion just via a different route.

(Very short) concurring opinion is there because those judges believe all business method patents should be abolished, just as they believed so in Bilski v. Kappos.
