Apparently, the writer got it wrong. He misinterpreted the decision.

Looks like Hendrickson is still fucked after all.

Hendrickson: The Arch Duke Ferdinand of Patent Law Reporting

If there are no patent trolls, most people will just spend their time building their products than wasting money on applying for business patents.

This example was the best part of the post and the golden nugget I was looking for:

the court distinguished between two of Abele’s claims – finding only one patentable. The unpatentable claim recited “a process of graphically displaying variances of data from average values” without specifying “any particular type or nature of data … or from where the data was obtained or what the data represented.” The patentable dependent claim identified the “data [as] X-ray attenuation data produced in a two dimensional field by a computed tomography scanner.” In retrospect, the Federal Circuit sees the difference between these two claims to be that of transformation. The second claim included sufficiently specific transformation because it changed “raw data into a particular visual depiction of a physical object on a display.” Notably, the transformation did not require any underlying physical object.

Go back to your script kiddie nonsense and leave the commentary to the adults.

Here is a link to get you started: http://www.pate...-re-bilski.html

the press is jumping the gun on this. the impact will be far less than advertised. most “business method” patents recite an apparatus or system so this will have no affect. thoughtful claims drafting will avoid these issues.

Call it what you will…patent hoarder, patent troll, non-practicing entity, etc. It all means one thing: we’re using your invention and we’re not going to pay

HOWEVER, BM patents are ridiculus and this ruling is great. Let someone else come into my space and I will crush them with better ops and better customer service. Patent protection is supposed to motivate people to spend a lot of time/money putting something together that they wouldn’t otherwise have done if they weren’t going to get protection – like a drug that costs $1B to bring to market. They make it economically feasible to create your product. BM patents do not meet this criteria and should be eliminated.

Instead, they are trustfund Stanford pukes, or MIT breast haters, who couldn’t tell you an original idea if a gun was pointed at their head.

That’s why they hate patents. Someone else created it first. But because these Sequoia and Ycombinator abortions want to be playas, they instead decide to trample on someone else’s IP.

I bet a dollar not one of the posters above is a patent holder. Not one.

Know why?

Because not one of them had the foresight to create and protect their invention. Most likely, none of these strokes ever came up with an original idea in their lives.

That doesn’t stop Sean and the other Ycombinator douchebags from bitching about the law.

Go EAST young men. Go East of Oakland. You live in a very large country. A country with hundreds of millions of people, the vast majory, smarter and better prepared than you.
