The U.S. Supreme Court’s 2014 ruling against the Alice Corporation, which rendered the company’s software patents invalid, left many startups wondering what that decision would mean for their own businesses. Opinions have been divided, with some concluding the case pretty much ends the patent system as we know it and others contending patent law remains relatively unchanged in spite of the ruling. Either way, the subject of patents is something I hear startups asking a lot of questions about — even now, more than 18 months after the Alice case was decided.
