Will the Supreme Court use the In re Bilski 545 F.3d 943, 88 U.S.P.Q.2d 1385 (Fed. Cir. 2008) case to deny patent protection to information age technology? Many observes believe that this case will have major implications for software and business method patents. The Bilski patent application covered a method of hedging risks when trading commodities. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) ruled that the Bilski patent did not fall within the subject matter of patentable material. It reached this decision based on the so called machine or transformation test. Bilski did not recite a machine or transform matter from one state to another state according to the court.
