Well, so are corporate patent laywers then: There is near panic in several of the big patent pools, because they also read Bilski along the lines I laid out. The Bilski ruling is indeed narrow, but there are more junk patents in that a narrow corridor than you probably imagine. One unofficial estimate, from an insider, is that IBM alone lost "at least 1000, possibly 2000 patents to Bilski". The only reason you have not heard the full roar on this, is that lawyers treasure their vacation.
