Patent law usually remains an esoteric and fairly quiet corner of the legal system. It is the province of specialized technicians and policy wonks, who speak their own language of “prior art” and “composition of matter.”
From time to time, however, patent issues erupt as the focus of vocal and highly public debates. This is one such time, with heated disagreement over the implications of the recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in In re Bilski , now known famously to the patent world as Bilski . The Bilski party has now filed a petition of certiorari for review by the Supreme Court (with its decision expected by June). We can only hope the Court takes this case, and the appeal succeeds.
