State Street ruling by US CAFC on 23 July 1998
Revision as of 06:49, 12 October 2009 by Ciaran (talk | contribs) (State Street v. Signature Financial Group (1999, USA) moved to State Street v. Signature Group (1999, USA): shorter)
State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, Inc. (149 F.3d 1368, 1374 n. 6 (Fed. Cir. 1999)) is often cited as the ruling which opened the floodgates for business method patents, and broadening the scope for software patents.
The in re Bilski ruling of 2008 is largely seen as overturning the State Street ruling, in whole or in part.
