Re:No patent if invention lies only in computer program, say... by jcranmer on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @02:12PM (#11169322)
The State St. is no longer valid precedent. SCOTUS went well out of its way to emphasize that the State St. decision was completely insane and wrong in Bilski v Kappos even as it struggled to come to grips with a coherent definition. Nevertheless, it's been pretty clear that SCOTUS would rule just about any software patent invalid.
