    1. Patent Eligibility AfterIn re Bilski

    2. OVERVIEW

    4. Gottschalk v. Benson, 409 U.S. 63 (1972) converting binary-coded-decimal numbers into pure binary numbers would be a patent on the algorithm itself The clue: Transformation and reduction of an article to a different state or thing is the clue to the patentability of a process claim that does not include particular machines. Not really the clue: It is argued that a process patent must be either tied to a particular machine or apparatus or must operate to change articles or materials to a different state or thing. We do not hold that no process patent could ever qualify if it did not meet the requirements of our prior precedents.

    5. Parker v. Flook, 437 U.S. 584 (1978) updating the value of an alarm limit associated with a process variable during a catalytic conversion process Very simply, our holding today is that a claim for an improved method of calculation, even when tied to a specific end use, is unpatentable subject matter under 101. No clue talk, but: As in Benson, we assume that a valid process patent may issue even if it does not meet [the machine-or-transformation test].

    6. Diamond v. Diehr, 437 U.S. 175 (1981) process of curing synthetic rubber The clue is repeated, but: [W]hen a claim containing a mathematical formula implements or applies that formula in a structure or process which, when considered as a whole, is performing a function which the patent laws were designed to protect (e.g., transforming or reducing an article to a different state or thing), then the claim satisfies the requirements of 101.
