Kalow and Springut: Patentable Subject Matter After 'Bilski' http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-196581/kalow-and-springut:patentable-subject-matter-after-bilski Posts in the discussion thread "Kalow and Springut: Patentable Subject Matter After 'Bilski'" - The machine or transformation test is the current analysis that the courts and the Patent Office will take when considering whether subject matter is patentable. As both Bilski and Prometheus show, this question is not industry specific, but it is particularly important when an inventor is trying to obtain patent rights directed to processes. Because of the changing landscape, and the likelihood that whatever the Supreme Court does, there will remain unanswered questions about where the boundaries lie, the patent practitioner should always consider trying to claim processes both broadly and as tied to devices and/or causes one or more transformations. http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-196581#post-632485 Kalow and Springut: Patentable Subject Matter After 'Bilski' http://www.digitalmajority.org/forum/t-196581/kalow-and-springut:patentable-subject-matter-after-bilski#post-632485 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:03:03 +0000 ggiedke 32664 "The machine or transformation test is the current analysis that the courts and the Patent Office will take when considering whether subject matter is patentable.
