Brief of Amicus Curiae John Sutton in Support of the Petitioners
John Sutton
- Retired patent lawyer
- Worked for office of patents
- Has knowledge of patentable inventions
Argument
- Sutton argues that the Bilski method is nothing more than commodity trading in an exchange
- It must be the work of an artisan, and simple trade is not, it has been around since people have existed
- It is only having middlemen, the commodity providers, hedge the risk of price fluctuations
- Concludes that the judgement should be vacated
