Its very particular processing of very particular kind of
information from a very particular source.
Processing
may or may not be abstract. Can the processing be done with pencil and paper?
Such as listening to a telegraph key and writing down the message? If
so:
It's abstract!
Information = abstract! There's no way the concept
of information can be reasonably argued as anything but abstract.
Source
= may be abstract, may not be. In this case the source is radio technology that
is unchanged. I assume this is so because this is what I have been saying and
you have not corrected me on this point.
Abstract + Abstract +
pre-existing technology = unpatentable subject
matter.
Unintelligible signals gets transformed into understandable
information.
Telegraph signals on a telegraph key are
"unintelligible signals" to those who do not know morse. Just because someone
can translate the language does not make it patentable subject matter.

If any patent on software is mentioned most people posting on
Groklaw will argue against you.
Basically because there are so many bad ones issued. But
personally I think some software patents, in rare cases,
should be granted. I also think that the implementation
(code) should be included in the patent.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
