Is software (really) patentable?
Should software be patentable? That’s been debated ever since the dawn of software. Earlier this year, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided that software can be patented if it is implemented on a “particular” machine or it transforms an article from one thing or state to another. So what does that mean exactly? No one is quite certain, so the US Supreme Court decided to take up the appeal this fall and rule on it.
