I always enjoy the Docket Report’s posts on patent eligibility decisions. \u00a0They are available at this [link<\/a>]. \u00a0While not scientific by any stretch of the imagination, it is interesting to look at how the posts seem to reflect that more and more patents are being found patent eligible by the district courts. \u00a0For example, in July of 2015, all nine cases covered had a decision reflecting patent ineligibility (0-9). \u00a0In January 2016, the cases covered were (3-4) — three cases favoring patent eligibility and four favoring patent ineligibility. \u00a0In January 2017, the cases covered went (5-2) — five decisions favoring patent eligibility and two cases reflecting patent ineligibility. \u00a0The links are below. \u00a0I think my favorite one is from December 1, 2016 “Newly Assigned Judge Vacates Earlier Summary Judgment Invalidating Advertising Campaign Analysis Patents Under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 101\u200b<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
