I am not sure how the market is going to react to this. I trust these guys' analysis:

"So the Supreme Court leaves room for software patents, just not those that take an abstract idea and provide for a computer to implement it."

"In Alice, the Court doesn't go much beyond saying that elaborating (some) on what is an abstract idea and saying that you can't get a patent for implementing that on a computer. When an invention is not abstract, and when it is sufficient to use a computer, are left for another day. So the case is more of a stepping stone than pathbreaking."

From the decision: "...the relevant question is whether the claims here do more than simply instruct the practitioner to implement the abstract idea of intermediated settlement on a generic computer...."

So for DSS, I believe the patents are much more advanced and the inventions are not limited to an abstract idea that can simply be implemented via computer. The patents are specific to computer objects and the linking/connecting of such objects. These concepts do not exist in the non-computer world. As such, the SCOTUS decision does not limit or pose an invalidation threat to Bascom/DSS inventions.

But still waiting for a market reaction.
