Someone recommended this, but I haven't watched it yet:

references to paragraph on likelihood literary patents would be unconstitutional in the US

As concerns the 3 reference placeholders:

The first sentence was intended to be supported by the rest of the paragraph. There might be an article or work that can be referenced to support that statement, however.

The second I'll try and look for. I have quoted from at least 2 SCOTUS rulings in the past that I think cover that. I think Bilski does.

For the third reference, are you looking for a link to fair use in copyright http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107 and its absence in patent law?? Alternatively, google "fair use in patents". Not sure which link would be authoritative, but there are titles like "It's Time For Fair Use In Patent Law" or this paper http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1005650 "Toward a Doctine of Fair Use in Patent Law" . Note that the missing independent inventor defense is sort of implied by either "first to invent" or "first to file". There is no "first to xxx" for copyright [I'll see if I get a ref to this effect since this has been argued before in courts.]
