2012 Supplement is out for the Electronic and Software Patents treatise, published by BNA in cooperation with AIPLA

For those not already familiar with it, this treatise, of which I am a coauthor along with Stephen Durant and Ann McCrackin, is is a step-by-step strategy guide that helps practitioners deal with today’s lightning-paced technological developments, changes in USPTO policy, and pivotal court rulings. Many leading practicioners in the software and electronics patent field contribute to this treatise.

The new 2012 Cumulative Supplement offers important updates and also provides discussion on:

Review of the decision in Ultramercial LLC v. Hulu, LLC for method claims requiring complex programming to implement an invention
Analysis of the outcome in Dealertrack v. Huber for computer-aided method claims that fail to specify any level of computer involvement
Examination of the result in Cybersource Corp. v. Retail Decisions for process claims that recite a computer readable medium
Interpretation of the Federal Circuit’s attempt to preserve subject matter scope in CLS Bank Int’l v. Alice Corp.
