Abstract

An issue currently attracting attention in a number of jurisdictions is the patentability of ‘pure’ business methods, which are business methods that do not involve a physical aspect. This issue was dealt with recently in Australia by the Full Court of the Federal Court which considered the patentability of a method of protecting an asset from the claims of creditors.
