In a move that has intellectual-property lawyers abuzz, the u.s. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would use a particular case to conduct a broad review of business-method patents.
这一举措让知识产权律师们议论纷纷，美国联邦巡回上诉法院表示，它将利用一个特定案例对商业方法专利进行广泛审查。
Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets.
对商业方法专利的限制将是一个戏剧性的转变，因为正是联邦巡回法院本身在1998年所谓的State Street Bank案中裁定引入此类专利，批准了一种将共同基金资产进行集合的方法的专利。
The Federal Circuit issued an unusual order stating that the case would be heard by all 12 of the court's judges, rather than a typical panel of three, and that one issue it wants to evaluate is whether it should "reconsider" its State Street Bank ruling.
联邦巡回法院发布了一项不同寻常的命令，指出该案将由法院全部12名法官审理，而不是通常由三名法官组成的小组，并且法院希望评估的一个问题是，是否应该"重新考虑"其此前的State Street Bank裁决。
The judges on the Federal Circuit are "reacting to the anti-patent trend at the Supreme Court," says Harold C.
联邦巡回法院的法官们表示，"他们正在回应最高法院的反专利趋势，"哈罗德·C说。
It has been dismissed by the Federal Circuit.
