The Supreme Court of the United States issued an opinion on appeal (as Bilski v. Kappos) that affirmed the judgment of the CAFC, but revised many aspects of the CAFC's decision. In its decision, handed down on June 28, 2010, the Supreme Court rejected the machine-or-transformation test as the sole test of process patent eligibility based on an interpretation of the language of § 101. The majority, however, had high praise for the Federal Circuit opinions, advising that "[s]tudents of patent law would be well advised to study these scholarly opinions."
In re Bilski (2008) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary
The case involves Bilski and Warsaw's patent application for a method of managing risk costs in commodities trading, which was rejected by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences. The en banc court affirmed this decision, stating that the claims were not directed to patent-eligible subject matter. The case raises the question of whether certain business methods and information-age processes qualify for patent protection. The most relevant facts are the use of mental calculations for risk hedging without any transformation of physical objects or substances and the application of the machine-or-transformation test to determine patent eligibility.

Bilski v. Kappos (2010) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary
The case is about whether a business-related invention aimed at protecting against price fluctuations in a specific area of the economy can be patented. The Supreme Court has established three exceptions to patent eligibility: laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas. The machine-or-transformation test is a tool for determining patentability, but it cannot be the only test. The petitioner's application was found not patent eligible because it manipulated an abstract idea without any practical application.

How the Bilski Decision will Affect Patent Law
The Supreme Court's Bilski decision slightly broadens the scope of patentability beyond the "machine or transformation" test, but not much. The USPTO is still using the "machine or transformation" test, and there are no clear guidelines as what if any abstract business processes are patentable. Learn more at www.utahpatentlaw.com

The Patent Act of 1952 defines the scope of patent-eligible subject matter in the United States.1 In interpreting the Patent Act, the United States Supreme Court has held that abstract ideas and laws of nature aren’t patentable, but practical applications of those concepts may be patentable if they’re within the context of larger processes.2 In Bilski versus Kappos, the Court considered the patent eligibility of a formula seeking to protect those in the energy market from price changes.
In 1997, Bernard Bilski and Rand Warsaw filed a patent application for a claimed invention that explained how buyers and sellers in the energy market could protect, or hedge, against the risk of price changes for energy commodities. Subsequently, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or USPTO, under the supervision of Director David Kappos, rejected the application, concluding it merely manipulated an abstract idea and wasn’t directed to the technological arts.
Bilski and Warsaw appealed to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, which affirmed, concluding that the application was based only on an abstract idea. Bilski and Warsaw further appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which also affirmed. In its decision, the court of appeals applied the machine-or-transformation test, holding that a process is only patent eligible if it’s tied to a particular machine or apparatus, or it transforms a particular article into a different state or thing. The United States Supreme Court then granted cert.
