Several tech companies have told the nation's highest court that it should make a decision on software patent standards, and the court agrees.
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that will determine what computer software is eligible for patent protection, Reuters reported Friday.
Several tech companies, including Google, Hewlett-Packard, Facebook, and Netflix, have urged the court to take on this decision.
The case centers on a dispute between two companies over financial transaction software. Alice Corporation Pty Ltd. holds a patent for software that facilitates financial transactions. CLS Bank International is challenging the patent.
