Apparently, now US patents either have to be about how to build something
("transforming one thing into another") or about a specific machine
(excluding that which you can build on a general purpose computer).
Yay!
Sounds like Finnish law even excludes the first one, from what I've
understood talking here, but at least there's no more "patents on hanging up
a sign to advertise your business" stupidity.
