Appellants do not identify any claimed features that would constitute “significantly more” than the abstract idea, in accord with Alice. Furthermore, “[t]he Supreme Court has made clear that the principle of preemption is the basis for the judicial exceptions to patentability” and “[f]or this reason, questions on preemption are inherent in and resolved by the § 101 analysis.” Ariosa Diagnostics, Inc. v. Sequenom, Inc., 788 F.3d 1371, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (citing Alice, 134 S. Ct. at 2354). Although “preemption may signal patent ineligible subject matter, the absence of complete preemption does not demonstrate patent eligibility.” Id.

Indeed, our reviewing court has expressly rejected similar contentions regarding preemption, stating that a patentee’s “attempt to limit the breadth of the claims by showing alternative uses . . . outside of the scope of the claims does not change the conclusion that the claims are directed to patent ineligible subject matter.” Ariosa Diagnostics, Inc. v. Sequenom, Inc., 788 F.3d 1371, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2015). The court explained that, “[w]hile preemption may signal patent ineligible subject matter, the absence of complete preemption does not demonstrate patent eligibility. . . . Where a patent’s claims are deemed only to disclose patent ineligible subject matter under the Mayo framework . . . preemption concerns are fully addressed and made moot.” Id.

We also note that Appellants’ preemption argument does not alter our §101 analysis. Preemption concerns are fully addressed and made moot where a patent’s claims are deemed to disclose patent ineligible subject matter under the two-part framework described in Mayo and Alice. Ariosa Diagnostics, Inc. v. Sequenom, Inc., 788 F.3d 1371, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2015). “While preemption may signal patent ineligible matter, the absence of complete preemption does not demonstrate patent eligibility.” Id.
