Despite the Court’s best efforts, its recent attempts to explain why some computer-implemented inventions involving Bilski-like claims are patent eligible and others are not has left the law unsettled. The confluence of post-Bilski cases such as Bancorp, Fort Properties, and Dealertrack has left patentees, courts, and the PTO unsure about how to approach close questions regarding the patent eligibility of computer-implemented inventions that appear to involve, at least at some level, an abstract idea.
