More software patents surviving 101/Alice.
Don't let the talk swirling around this confuse or scare,
go look at apples to apples and see for yourself what the IP landscape is about. This is a long list of of patents related to what we are talking about here. PTAB, District court, Federal Circuit Decisions,
THIS IS A LONG LIST, VERY LONG LIST,

Since the June 2014 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Alice Corporation Pty Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int’l, the vast majority of district court decisions, Federal Circuit decisions, and Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) decisions that considered the issue have overturned software and business method patents under the new patent-eligibility standard of Alice.

"While many of the early cases explained why the specific claims failed to satisfy patent-eligibility requirements, for the most part the early cases provided little guidance to help the patent community identify what types of claims would be patent-eligible.

On December 16, 2014, the USPTO issued an Interim Guidance document on the topic. The Interim Guidance summarized the cases that upheld patents as of that date. It also included some hypothetical claims that could be considered to be patent-eligible. The Interim Guidance started to break the post-Alice logjam at the USPTO, and it gave applicants and Examiners the ability to move some cases forward. In July 2015, the USPTO issued a Subject Matter Eligibility Update with additional examples and caselaw summaries. The USPTO issued a second Subject Matter Eligibility Update in May 2016."
