Fair enough

But, since altering the law as suggested makes no sense and since the
ramifications are mind boggling, that ain't gonna happen.

"patent law as it currently exists"
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 07 2013 @ 08:14 PM EDT

And I've formed the tentative conclusion (whether correct or not I can't say) that the "currently existing state" was formed:

    not by Congress
    not by the Supremes
but....
    by patent Lawyers with their arguments to the USPTO and Federal Circuit
All we have to do is look at said pro-patent folk who point to a patent granted on actual math as proof that "math is patentable" and compare that to the many statements by the Supremes of "math is not patentable" to see the conclusion I've formed.

The good news is:

    it's not very good for your side when all the evidence you are using to support your position was created by you while the Supremes keep making clear statements to the contrary
