In this article from Bloomberg Businessweek, Finnegan partner Erika Arner provided commentary on a case at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that has technology companies weighing in on software patents. In CLS Bank v. Alice Corp., court is expected to focus on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions. Arner predicts that the Federal Circuit will aim to fine-tune patentability rules, but it’s unlikely to halt all software patenting. “The court is aware that the patent office has been issuing patents on software for 20 to 30 years, so there are tens of thousands of patents that represent settled property rights by inventors around the world,” she said.
