Patents for Business Methods

Patents are being issued not only for actual products and things, but for general ideas and business solutions. Or the method by which payments are made online.

Patents were originally intended for pure inventions. They contributed to the U.S. becoming the industrial leader of the world.

Courts now are looking at cases in dispute, to see if clarification of patent law is necessary and whether interpretation of the law is to be more limited. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
