Patentable Subject Matter After Bilski:
Not Quite Anything Under The Sun?
With Eileen Kane, Penn State University; John Thomas, Georgetown University; Polk Wagner, University of Pennsylvania; Kevin Collins, Indiana University; and Marian Underweiser, IBM
Since the 1998 State Street Bank decision, commentators, practitioners, and even patent examiners have debated whether patentable subject matter includes business method patents or, instead, has some “technological” limits. Will the court’s pending en banc decision in In re Bilski finally provide a clear test for what innovations are covered by patent law? Our panelists will consider the various limits for patentable subject matter proposed by the parties and amici in Bilski - and whether there is any end in sight to this debate.
