Definitely massive interest in this one. A lot at stake. A lot.

Seems like this is hard to resolve without knowing the scope of 101. I don’t think the exceptions can be resolved with copyright law. The expression of an abstract idea, which is what I think Alice would be classified as should be copyrightable.

The something more is that expression or is that functionally based question?

Anyway, been awhile since I read about these issues, so I might not know what I am talking about. But it seems to me that the resolution of these copyright issues are intertwined with the exceptions.

Would a molecule that is product of nature under the exceptions be copyrightable since it does have additional molecules but just ones that the SCOTUS determined to be insignificant differences. But under copyright they wouldn’t be insignificant.
