January 3, 2011
Ending several months of waiting, the Federal Circuit issued a pair of opinions in December applying the patent-eligibility standard post-Bilski. Paul C. Craane reflected on Research Corporation Technologies v. Microsoft and Prometheus v. Mayo in "Patentees Await More Post-Bilski Decisions" and "Prometheus Reiterates Broad Patent Eligibility Standard," both articles appearing in the December 22, 2010 issue of Managing IP. Taken in combination, RCT and Prometheus suggest a willingness by the Federal Circuit to move past the issue of patent eligibility to reach issues of patentability/validity, concludes Mr. Craane.
