Love the judge's comment here:

  > "There is no inventive idea here," she wrote in her order. 
  > "Having two or more parties input preference data is not inventive. 
  > Matchmakers have been doing this for millennia... It is merely a

  > determining good matches."

A judge that uses the "computer algorithms == maths", and uses it to shut down a shitty patent? Awesome! I wish there were more judges like Judge Denise Colt. Well done.

If only USPTO would include such logic in their patent reviews before passing those patents.

A good portion of such patents could've been banned with the new bill against patent trolls, if only companies like Microsoft and IBM wouldn't have lobbied so hard against such reform.

I actually had Colt, not Cole ;) Cheers! I knew I was going to misspell it for some reason...
