The Corrupt Judge Rader (of CAFC) Still Pursuing Bad (More Aggressive) Patent System in the US

Summary: Randall R. Rader, the disgraced judge from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), is still trying to impose his patent agenda on the United States, despite the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) repeatedly throwing away his rulings

Amdocs, a very surveillance-oriented company (although not advertised as such), has just lost an important case. Dennis Crouch wrote about it in "Software as an Abstract Idea". "In yet another case," wrote Crouch, "a district court has invalidated a set of software patents as unduly abstract under Alice Corp., Mayo, and 35 U.S.C. 101. In this case, E.D. Va. Judge Brinkema issued a judgment-on-the-pleadings that all of the asserted claims of the four Amdocs patents were invalid as patent-ineligible. The Decision."



Here again we are seeing the impact of the Alice case on software patents in the United States. "Alice Corp. Oral Argument Goes to the Dogs" is a new post from Matt Levy that's basically a comical video. It has been widely agreed by now (except by the more delusional patent lawyers) that software patents are severely affected by the ruling in the Alice case on software patents in the United States.

Meanwhile, the CAFC's corrupt trolls apologist and software patents proponent Rader reportedly says that “The law makes no sense any more” because SCOTUS, ruling in the Alice case, has struck down many software patents (if not all). The site (source) is vigorously preventing copy/paste (we've tried many browsers and even page source), but it basically shows that Rader continues his zealous pursuit in the maximalists' agenda (he himself has a serious conflict of interest, which is why he was ousted).
