As for argument (a), we agree with the Examiner in that we see little difference between the abstract nature of “supply chain logistics” and “organizing information through mathematical correlations” that Digitech held to be an abstract idea. Return Mail, Inc. v. United States Postal Service, United States, 868 F.3d 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2017) is also applicable.
