Bilski v. Kappos (2010) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary
The case is about whether a business-related invention aimed at protecting against price fluctuations in a specific area of the economy can be patented. The Supreme Court has established three exceptions to patent eligibility: laws of nature, physical phenomena, and abstract ideas. The machine-or-transformation test is a tool for determining patentability, but it cannot be the only test. The petitioner's application was found not patent eligible because it manipulated an abstract idea without any practical application.
