We find that the recitation of an article to be nominal and that claim 14 is not “truly drawn to a specific computer readable medium, rather than to the underlying method” (CyberSource Corp. v. Retail Decisions, Inc., 654 F.3d 1366, 1374-75 (internal quotation marks omitted)). See also CLS Bank Int’l v. Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd., 717 F.3d 1269 (Fed. Cir. 2013); Dealertrack, Inc. v. Huber, 674 F.3d 1312 (Fed. Cir. 2012); Fort Properties, Inc. v. American Master Lease LLC, 671 F.3d 1317 (Fed Cir. 2012).

Cf. Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. 132 S.Ct. 1289, 1295 (2012) ("At the time the discoveries embodied in the patents were made, scientists already understood that the levels in a patient's blood of certain metabolites ... were correlated with the likelihood that a particular dosage of a thiopurine drug could cause harm or prove ineffective.")

Cf. Fort Properties, Inc. v. American Master Lease LLC, 671 F.3d 1317, 1322 (Fed. Cir. 2012) ("like the invention in Bilski, claims 1-31 of the '788 patent disclose an investment tool, particularly a real estate investement tool designed to enable tax-free exchanges of property.  This is an abstract concept.")

In re Tanczyn, 347 F.2d 830, 832 (C.C.P.A 1965), “[i]t does not appear to us logical that one should be permitted to dissect the ‘invention’ . . . into several parts and then say because he has invented one such part prior to a reference disclosing that part that he has also invented the entire combination prior to that reference. . . .”
