Yesterday, the Supreme Court issued a ruling which toughens the standards to grant a patent for inventions which combine two existing technologies (nytimes coverage here). All I can say is: “it’s about time”; this change is long overdue.
It will be interesting to see what effect this will have on Verizon v. Vonage (Verizon’s patent has ridiculously broad scope, imo).
