Bilski: Not a big deal

While I generally write here on information security and data privacy law, in my legal career I also do a good deal of work as a patent attorney. Right now, the patent law community (and a fair portion of the mainstream media) is up in arms over a case which supposedly threatens to end the era of software and business method patents. Frankly, I think that the case, commonly referred to as Bilski, isn't going to be that big a deal. I explain why in this guest post over at Patent Baristas.
