As we discussed in a prior post, the patent eligibility of inventions was supposed to be clarified last summer by the Supreme Court decision Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS BANK INTERNATIONAL et al.[i]
In fact, little was decided. The state of software patents, and software inventions, is now uncertain.
The patent attorneys at The Courtney Firm have been very kindly invited to present a summary of the importance of the Alice ruling, and the impact on software patents and inventors going forward, at a meeting of the Dallas chapter of the IEEE Computer Society on February 6, 2015, at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) in Richardson Texas. This event is FREE. If you are interested in hearing what has changed in intellectual property law and how to protect your inventions now, please join us. We look forward to meeting you and will be available to answer questions about the decision, or about general patent law, after the presentation.
The event invitation is here. We hope to see you on February 6 at UTD!
