Case Description
In this decision, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled on the patent eligibility of a claim concerning a natural phenomenon. To evaluate the patentability, the Court utilized the criteria developed in previous case law to determine a) whether the claim is directed to a natural process/phenomenon; b) if so, whether the claim contains an eligible subject matter that can transform the claim itself into a patent eligible one.
