Business Method Patents, Second Edition

In a landmark decision, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Signature Financial v. State Street Bank held that business methods may be patented. Recently, the US Supreme Court in Bilski v. Kappos left the door open for the availability of patents for business methods. These holdings, together with the explosive growth of electronic commerce and technology, make the business method patent an important growth area of intellectual property.

Now in a revised Looseleaf format, this completely updated second edition is your guide to the unique opportunities and risks in this emerging area of intellectual property law.

Business Method Patents, Second Edition is your authoritative source for expert guidance on:

  • The landmark Supreme Court decision in Bilski v. Kappos
  • USPTO view on business method patents, including an overview of BPAI rulings
  • Mechanics of the patent application
  • Prior art searches
  • Drafting claims for business method or model and e-commerce inventions
  • Drafting the complete specification
  • Drawings required for business method patents
  • Building a strategic patent portfolio
  • Litigating business method patents
  • International protection for business methods

Business Method Patents

In a landmark decision, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in Signature Financial v State Street Bank 1998 held that business methods may be patented. This holding together with the explosive growth of the internet has turned the business method patent into the "hot" new growth area of intellectual property. Business Method Patents is your guide to the unique opportunities and risks in this emerging area of IP law.

This is the authoritative source for court-tested guidance on mechanics of the patent application; prior art researching; drafting claims; drafting the complete specification; drawings required for business method patents; illustrating the business system through drawings; building a patent portfolio for attracting capital; and enforcing and licensing business method patents.
