On Friday, May 10, the Federal Circuit handed down its en banc decision in the closely-watched CLS Bank v. Alice Corp. case. The court issued seven opinions, but provided “no clear answer” on the issue of software patentability. Finnegan partner Bob Yoches provided commentary, comparing the test for patent eligibility “to the one used by the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart to determine whether material violated obscenity laws: ‘I know it when I see it.’”
