Federal Circuit Releases Ruling on §101 Ineligible Subject Matter

On Friday, May 10, 2013, the Federal Circuit sitting en banc released its decision in CLS Bank International v. Alice Corp.  The decision can be found here.  A majority of the court affirmed the district court's holding that the "asserted method and computer-readable media claims," as well as the asserted system claims, are ineligible for patent protection under Section 101.  10 judges sat on the panel and issued 7 different decisions.
