Cybersource Corp. v. Retailed Decisions, Inc., 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 16871 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (DYK, Bryson & Prost). Cybersource08162011
Major issues: mental steps as unpatentable methods; Section 101; Bilski; claims to computer readable medium with executable programs instructions; Beauregard claims
A Federal Circuit panel, in an opinion by Judge Dyk, held that method claims to a credit card fraud prevention system, which could be carried out by a human mentally or with the aid of pencil, were unpatentably abstract in the Bilski sense. The panel also held claims to “computer reaable medium” for carrying out the methods to be unpatentable.
Cross Reference. For a discussion of the “mental steps” doctrine, see Chisum on Patents Sec. 1.03[6]. Read CPLRG™ 0074
