No Business Method Patents

We, the undersigned, believe that business method patents hinder innovation and threaten entrepreneurship, and hereby request:


  1. That Cereality withdraw its patent application #11/078,686,
    "Methods and systems for providing food, beverages, and associated
    goods and services in a retail environment;"
  2. That the United States Patent and Trademark Office issue a
    final rejection of Cereality's patent application on the grounds that
    its claims are not patentable;
  3. That Congress pass a law to the effect that schemes, rules, and methods for doing business are not patentable.
