Alice v. CLS Bank wiped out a bunch of silly &quot;do it on a computer&quot; patents. Hopefully a sane judge will look at this and decide it fits under that umbrella. Otherwise we&#x27;ll end up waiting a decade for the Supreme Court to come down with a decision that &lt;trivial concept&gt; + &quot;do it over the internet&quot; is not patentable.<p>It is a bit sad though that the USPTO has abdicated their responsibility and left it to the legal system.
