Abstract

It is becoming abundantly clear that the courts and the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) are consistently relaying a message that if method claims do no more than recite routine or conventional methods and steps, and the claims do not provide significantly more, then they will be found to be invalid or patent ineligible, regardless of the significance of the invention to science and medicine.
