Hopefully Bilski renders these patent issues moot. I really, really hope that.

And if it does, I expect multi-media to improve quite a bit in the next 2 years.



If you don't know what "Bilski" is (like me). I founds us a link:

I doubt it. Bilski will be decided by SCOTUS in exactly the same way they "decided" Eldred... by punting it back to a very well-bribed Congress.

And that won't even be the wrong decision, really. There is no constitutional basis for a ruling on software and/or business-method patentability, one way or the other. It's clear that Congress is supposed to make those calls.
