As Appellants point out (Br. 20), the Supreme Court indicated in Diamond v. Diehr 450 U.S. 175, 211 n. 34 (1981) that the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals in Halliburton and Abrams failed to understand or disregarded the distinction between eligible subject matter and novelty, and the Supreme Court explained that "[t]he question [] of whether a particular invention is novel is 'wholly apart from whether the invention falls into a category of statutory subject matter."' Diehr, 450 U.S. at 190 (citing In re Bergy, 596 F.2d 952, 961 (CCPA 1979)).

1634 Ex Parte Cao et al 13675685 - (D) FLAX 101/112(2)/102/double patenting Riverside Law LLP SISSON, BRADLEY L

In analyzing patent eligibility questions under 35 U.S.C. § 101, the Supreme Court instructs us to “first determine whether the claims at issue are directed to a patent-ineligible concept.” Alice Corp. Pty Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int’l, 134 S. Ct. 2347, 2355 (2014). However, the Supreme Court “has not established a definitive rule to determine what constitutes an ‘abstract idea’” for the purposes of step one. See Enfish, LLC v. Microsoft Corp., 822 F.3d 1327, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (citing Alice, 134 S. Ct at 2357). ...

Taking up the first step of the patent-eligibility analysis, we find claim 1 is not directed to an abstract idea. Per the Supreme Court’s holding in Diehr, claims are patent eligible under § 101 “when a claim containing a mathematical formula [or mental processes] implements or applies that formula in a structure or process which, when considered as a whole, is performing a function which the patent laws were designed to protect.” Diamond v. Diehr, 450 U.S. 175, 192 (1981). In terms of the Alice test, the Diehr claims were directed to an improvement in the rubber curing process, not a mathematical formula or mental process and, so, not an abstract idea. See Thales Visionix Inc. v. United States, — F.3d —, 2017 WL 914618 *3 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 8, 2017).

Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int'l, 573 U.S. _, 134 S. Ct. 2347, 110 USPQ2d 1976 (2014) 2103 , 2106

Diamond v. Diehr, 450 U.S. 175, 209 USPQ 1 (1981) 2103 , 2106 , 2107.01 , 2111.05

Section 101 states that "[w]hoever invents or discovers any new and useful process ... may obtain a patent therefor." However, the "Court has long held that this provision contains an important implicit exception. '[L]aws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas' are not patentable.' Mayo Collaborative Servs. v. Prometheus Labs., Inc., 132 S. Ct. 1289, 1293 (2012). In addition, "to transform an unpatentable law of nature into a patent-eligible application of such a law, one must do more than simply state the law of nature while adding the words 'apply it."' Id. at 1294. Furthermore, a "'new combination of steps in a process may be patentable even though all the constituents of the combination were well known and in common use before the combination was made."' Id. at 1298 (quoting Diamond v. Diehr, 450 U.S. 175, 188 (1981)).

Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Labs., Inc., 566 U.S. __, 132 S.Ct. 1289, 101 USPQ2d 1961 (2012) 2103 , 2106

Thus, even when guidance is not provided in explicit definitional format, the specification may define claim terms by implication such that their meaning may be ascertained by reading the patent documents. Irdeto Access, Inc. v. Echostar Satellite Corp., 383 F.3d 1295, 1300 (Fed. Cir. 2004).
