Accordingly, we find that the broadest reasonable interpretation of the term “computer readable storage medium” includes transitory propagating signals. See Ex parte Mewherter, 107 USPQ2d 1857, 1862 (PTAB 2013) (precedential) (holding that where a specification does not limit the term “machine readable storage medium” expressly to exclude signals, carrier waves, and other transitory media, the term encompasses transitory propagating signals).

Because under Mewherter, the broadest reasonable interpretation of the term computer-readable medium encompasses signals per se, claims 15-20 and 23 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 as covering non-statutory subject matter.

We note that Appellants are not preculded from amending the claims to overcome the rejection.  Relevant guidance is in U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, Subject Matter Eligibility of Computer Readable Media, 1351 Off. Gaz. Pat. Office 212 (Feb. 23, 2010) (A claim drawn to such a computer readable medium that covers both transitory and non-transitory embodiments may be amended to narrow the claim to cover only statutory embodiments to avoid a rejection under 35 U.S.C. 101 by adding the limitation non-transitory to the claim.); U.S. Patent & Trademank Office, Evaluating Subject Matter Eligibility Under 35 USC 101 (August 2012 Update) (pp. 11-14), available at http://www.uspto.gov/patents/law/exam/101_training_aug2012.pdf (nothing that while non-transitory is a viable option for overcoming the presumption that the media encompasses signals or carrier waves, merely indicating that such media are physical or tangible will not overcome such presumption)/  See. id. at 14.
