A business method patent is a patent on a way of does business, commerce.
Business method patents are intimately linked to software patents because they can usually be turned into software patents by adding a computer. A standard way to do this is to claim "computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions" which carry out the business method.[1]
Examples
- 1-click shopping
- E-Data has a patent that convince Apple to pay to sell music online
- The Baboon Inc. v. Dell, cv-09-1198 (USDC CD Cal.) case (ongoing as of Nov 9th 2009)[1]
