		<description>Posts in the discussion thread &quot;US Supreme Court will hear arguments In re Bilski&quot; - On Monday, June 1, 2009, the United States Supreme Court granted cert. in Bilski v. Doll.  This means that the last chapter on business methods and software has not yet been written, which could be good news or bad news depending upon your particular take.  What is certain, however, is that the same Supreme Court [...] will dip its toe into the business method and software debate.</description>

Indeed, in the end there's somewhat surprising summary of the effects of the ruling: "<em>Thankfully, it does not seem as if Bilski has turned out to be the impediment to patentability that many feared, at least insofar as the Untited States Patent and Trademark Office is concerned. In fact, based on what is going on at the USPTO one could make a convincing argument that it is actually getting easier to obtain patents that relate to software and computer related processes</em>."</p>
