I KNOW! The dope who titled the original post doesn't know squat of what was said in the opinion. The original post should've read "Supreme Court Strengthens Patents" with their recent KSR ruling. Now it is tougher for inventors to argue their invention is not obvious given what's publicly known.
I wonder what impact this will have on business method patents that are more likely deemed obvious and often confused with software patents? An example of the former is the One-Click patent that is arguably obvious, while an example of the latter is the patent on RSA encryption that is well deserved.
