While the decision does not change the basic criteria of subject matter eligibility set forth in MPEP § 2106, it does, however, reinforce the need for examiners to carefully analyze claims in determining patent-eligible subject matter. The revised procedures also leave a call for patent applicants to be more critical of upcoming updates.
