@joenievelt@boingboing there have been precious few bright spots in "intellectual property" law in the past 20 years. I'll take it. -
@posco@BoingBoing the ruling is correct and welcome. I just dislike false, clickbaity reporting/headlines

@BoingBoing@dollaranarch who's the dwarf on the right? -
@dollaranarch@BoingBoing I know, it was a joke. Hope the patent office didn't see it.

@BoingBoing@doctorow Wow. Paging@buckeyefitzy. -
@_daltonator@BoingBoing indeed, a surprising outcome today at SCOTUS. Funny headline though, as it implies software no longer patentable. -
@BuckeyeFitzy@BoingBoing I could see how that may be the case, but doesn't it set a precedent? -
@_daltonator@BoingBoing yes but it's unclear on my first quick glance how strong that precedent actually is. Will definitely look more.

@BoingBoing@doctorow Another misstatement of law (you guys need a staff legal writer, let me know). Opinion doesn't say "software" once. -
@littlebluedog@boingboing@doctorow Agreed! Said that including using a generic 'computer' in patent doesn't make something patentable.
