Patent Eligibility: This is another pair of cases, these dealing with patents. The patent bar has been asking the Supreme Court to sort out what makes an invention eligible for patent protection, a doctrine one of the parties called “perilously fractured” and responsible for “chaos” in the IP world. The court, however, has turned down a number of cases on this issue , including one last term despite the recommendation from the Justice Department for the court to intervene. There are other patent cases that the justices could add from the long conference, considering they typically hear at least one patent case per term. Interactive Wearables v. Polar Electro Oy and Worlds Inc. v. Activision Blizzard Inc.
