Alice vs CLS - Supreme Court Amicus briefs compartison

Interesting to compare the Amicus Briefs from:

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Linkedin, Netflix, Rackspace etc:  "A plague of abstract computer related patents is impairing and taxing innovation in the high-tech sector". 

Microsoft, Adobe and HP: "Software makes computing technology work" ... "...Only by looking at the each claim as a Whole..." Just like EPO makes software patents OK.

Tells me where I am buying my products and who's the real innovators. 


A decisive Court looks like the best shot we have for innovation since IBM killed the best part the proposed Innovation Act, as noted by Timothy B Lee at Washington Post.
