Bancorp Services: Further Fracturing of the Patent Eligibility Landscape for Business Methods and Systems

...There is simply no rhyme, or especially reason in these opinions for what is an “abstract idea,” other than a purely subjective “I know it when I see it” standard. We are also frankly reaching a “crisis point” on patent-eligibility determinations for business methods and systems. The Federal Circuit needs an en banc ruling (and sooner rather than later) that provides an objective, logical, and rational standard for evaluating claimed business method and systems under 35 U.S.C. § 101 (and especially defines what is (or is not) an “abstract idea”) before these patent-eligibility determinations become nothing more than the “luck of the Federal Circuit panel draw.”
Please someone tell us what the rules are so we know what we can get away with!

If you're worried about what you can get away with, your primary concern isn't innovation and it ain't.

Rotten Apple: Apple's lousy design patent lawsuits
Authored by: JamesK on Sunday, July 29 2012 @ 05:59 PM EDT
Gee... Doesn't FIG. 1 look just like an Etch-a-Sketch, minus the knobs? Looks
like some picture frames I've seen too.
