SFLC summary of Bilski v. Kappos

The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) has compiled a summary of some of the main arguments in the Bilski v. Kappos case dealing with software patents. "As a legal services organization for free and open source software (FOSS), we filed a brief in support of the respondent arguing (1) that all software is unpatentable under Supreme Court precedent, (2) that software patenting reduces the level of innovation in software, and (3) that constitutional limitations from the First Amendment prevent Congress from making patent law that covers mental steps, basic ideas, or algorithms."
