Item Type: case
Summary: Patent applicants challenged denial of patent application for method of hedging risk in field of commodities trading based on lack of patent-eligible subject matter. The Federal Circuit reaffirmed the machine-or-transformation test and held the hedging method not patentable under the test, but the court did not rule out the possibility of the Supreme Court one day altering or setting aside the test to accommodate advances in technology.
