At the very least, please exercise sufficient caution you don't copy a
signature.
And I'm afraid you're mistaken.
I believe the
value of wages represent a stack of physical currency. However, if that's not
physical enough for you
The Supreme's in Bilski made quite clear it
was insufficient. It doesn't matter that it is insufficient to me. It is
insufficient to the Supremes!
You are still doing nothing more then a
calculation.
change my example to rain fall
amounts
Bilski was a hedge against weather - still
insufficient.
kilos of beans delivered
Is the
calculation actually involved in the process of controlling a device to deliver
said beans? Nope - your process as outlined does nothing with the physical.
It's still nothing more then a calculation.
or pixels values of
x-ray image data of a physical object
Did you actually include the
x-ray device in your patent application as I assume Abele did? Nope - your
process that you insist is eligible under 101 is still nothing but a
calculation. I'll have to review Abele at some point if I can access the
opinion. Part of the reason I can access Bilski so easily is because the
Supreme Court makes it available themselves*
and I don't have to go through one of the paid services.
Sorry - the
process you outlined in the four corners that you outlined it: is ineligible for
patent protection failing basic 101 patentability because it is nothing but a
mathematical/abstract construct.
You have been doing nothing more then
pointing at other rulings that find patent eligibility that happen to include
software as well as non-abstract components while completely ignoring the
Supremes (in at least one of those very cases) making quite clear the math
algorithm as a stand-alone does not qualify for patent eligibility.
You
can claim I don't understand "abstract" vs "non-abstract" the same way the
Supremes do.... but it seems my definition - based on the Supreme's rulings as
evidence - is very much closer then what you're insisting.
* An
incredibly large Thank You! to the Supreme Court for upgrading their systems and
making their opinions available to the Public without having to go through a
paywall.
