The particular-machine-or-transformation test only applies to "processes".  Thus, it seems that if a programmed computer was claimed as a "machine", it wouldn't have to pass the particular-machine-or-transformation test. This issue was discussed, and there was either confusion or disagreement about it at the [[US Supreme Court|Supreme Court]]'s hearing of [[Bilski v. Kappos (2009, USA)|Bilski v. Kappos]] in 2009.

The particular machine or transformation test refers to the test described by the 2008 ruling of the USA's CAFC in the case in re Bilski.

A claimed process is surely patent-eligible under § 101 if: (1) it is tied to a particular machine or apparatus, or (2) it transforms a particular article into a different state or thing. See Benson, 409 U.S. at 70 ("Transformation and reduction of an article 'to a different state or thing' is the clue to the patentability of a process claim that does not include particular machines. Diehr, 450 U.S. at 192 (quoted in the CAFC's Bilski ruling)
