Talk:Method (patent)

"There are also methods in scientific analysis...", and improving the intro

Hi again Chase.alton3, and thanks for your note on my talk page. Your edit in fact revealed that the article's intro needed to be improved to better explain the context of the topic at stake.

You wrote "Analytical methods are a process/procedure for doing things, similar to the process of making soap. Each method is patented by the government agency and third-party labs that create them." Maybe, but that these methods are patented is not mentioned in the sources you have provided (see Wikipedia:Verifiability). Moreover, and more importantly (the only thing that's important here I believe), the article is intended to cover one particular way to claim an invention in the United States patent law, i.e. the article covers a legal topic. Hopefully, I now made that clearer in the intro. --Edcolins (talk) 20:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the intro is more clear now. Thanks! --Chase.alton3 (talk) 21:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome! Thanks for triggering these improvements. Happy editing. --Edcolins (talk) 21:18, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Reference to the "machine or transformation test"

In my opinion the reference to the "machine or transformation test" is inappropriate, since this test is all but rejected by the Supreme Court in Bilski v. Kappos. Rbakels (talk) 20:21, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
