"According to Judge Gilford’s ruling, DealerTrack ‘appears to concede that the claims of the ‘427 Patent do not meet the “transformation” prong of the Bilski test.’ He then applied the ’specific machine’ test and noted that, post-Bilski the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences has ruled several times that ‘claims reciting the use of general purpose processors or computers do not satisfy the [Bilski] test.’ Judge Gilford analyzes the claims of the ‘427 patent, notes that they state that the ‘machine’ involved could be a ‘dumb terminal’ and a ‘personal computer,’ and then concludes: ‘None of the claims of the ‘427 Patent require the use of a “particular machine,” and the patent is thus invalid under Bilski.’"
