The ruling may also decide whether software patents are even legally allowed to exist in the United States.

"In contrast to the Federal Circuit, the Supreme Court has maintained limits on patentable subject matter throughout U.S. history," said Eben Moglen, Executive Director of SFLC. "The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that algorithms and mathematics cannot be patented. Since software is expressed as mathematical algorithms, it should not be patentable."
