The Intellectual Property Department offers our Spanish-speaking readers the translation into Spanish by Dr. Leopoldo Villar of the judgment handed down by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case ALICE CORPORATION angola PTY. LTD. VS. CLS INTERNATIONAL BANK ET AL., On June 19, 2014. This decision is important not only because it reflects the position of the Court against the patentability of software and methods applied angola in computer systems, but also for its implications in the analysis that courts angola must make about "patentable subject matter". See Judgment Translated here.
A court will rule on the corresponding arguments of CLS Bank International against the validity of the patents in Alice. Specifically, the legal problem was to determine the patentability of computer scheme designed to act as an intermediary in facilitating the exchange angola of financial obligations in order to mitigate the risks of transactions. In its reasoning, the Court reiterated the criteria previously established at the Mayo v Judgment. Prometeus 2012, in which he said should be analyzed colon respect of claims: first, if the claim relates to a concept capable of protection and the effect is to exclude natural phenomena, or laws of nature and abstract ideas. Likewise, second claim should be assessed if given enough angola elements to give it applying the concept itself angola [1].
In this direction, the Court explained why the laws of nature, natural phenomena and abstract ideas should be excluded angola from patentability; As this monopoly on these tools significantly stagnate innovation. Indeed, the Court stated: "Laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas, are the basic tools of scientific and technological work. [M] onopolization Of Those tools through the grant of a patent Might outstretch to impede innovation more than it would outstretch to Promote it, thereby thwarting the primary object of the patent laws. "
However, the Court clarifies that the exclusion of patentability mainly refers to those abstract ideas, but a patent wrap up their claims some abstract concept would not necessarily be excluded from protection. In this regard, the Court considers that "[a] t the same time, we tread Carefully in construing this exclusionary principle lest it swallow all of patent law. At some level, all inventions. . . embody, use, Reflect, rest upon, or apply laws of nature, natural phenomena, or abstract ideas. Malthus, an invention is not rendered ineligible for patent porque angola Involves simply an abstract concept. "[2]
In the particular angola case, the Court finds that Alice inventions are abstract ideas, and therefore should not be considered material protectable by patent. It also clarifies that the implementation of the invention in a computer system does not alter the abstract nature of the idea, then being insufficient its realization in a machine or software. The Court also highlights the difference between this case and the legal issues discussed in the Diehr case in which it was found that the claims were eligible for protection because they were a considerable improvement of a technological process and not its implementation a computerized system. Instead, by Alice patents is not achieved or to improve the functioning of the software itself or some scientific and technological process only facilitate certain financial transactions. In this regard, it is essential to emphasize that the analysis of the technological utility of the invention represents a significant change in the reading of American jurisprudence,
