The Supreme Court Rules That The Process in Bilski is Not Patentable, But Refuses to Foreclose The Patentability of Business Methods
What does the Bilski decision really mean for patent applications? According to a Memorandum issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"), not much will change, and it will continue to apply the "machine-or-transformation test" to determine patentability of inventions directed to processes or methods.
