In re Bilski

By Lee.Gesmer

Those who take an interest in patents — inventors, litigants, lawyers, judges, pundits, trolls, and on and on — have been waiting with bated breath for the CAFC’s decision in In re Bilski.  Is it a game changer or not?  What does it mean?  How will the courts read it?  Is the Supreme Court likely to accept an appeal?

Every patent lawyer in the country will feel compelled to write about this decision.  Thousands, tens of thousands of words will be written.  Indeed, I would swear that many lawyers pulled all-nighters on Thursday night so they would be the first to write about this case, and get a jump on the competition.

Not me.  No way, no how am I joining this parade.

My recommendation - go to the Patently-O blog. Start here, then search for “Bilski”.  I’m sure that this blog will collect all the commentary on this case you are likely to need.
