Just as an update re: my assertion that Bilski would be overturned or fixed by legislation:

Yesterday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear Bilski’s appeal:

Les – thanks for your insight. That sure sounds like a “damned if you do, damned if don’t scenario.” Either recite a particular machine and risk your invention through market dynamics or don’t recite a particular machine and risk your innovation through loss of patent protection.

Regardless of where one stands on the issue of software and business method patents I think we can all agree that maintaining both as patentable material but with ambiguous conditions that require highly subjective interpretation by the bureaucracy is a terrible outcome.

Thanks to Bilski that seems to be the emerging scenario.

Whether the Iphone is a particular machine is not important. What is important is whether any of the claims in the subject patent are interpreted to recite a particular machine.

Since the interface in question need not be tied to a particular machine ( since it might come in handy on an ebook reader or a gps device or a camera), a claim that recited one would be overly limiting and not give the inventor the protection to which he/she is really entitled.

Which is exactly why the decision in Bilski is ridiculous and will eventually be overturned or fixed by legislation.
