From this, it follows, in FiscalNotes view, that the inventions are plainly not a series of mental steps and cannot be performed manually by a human47 and FiscalNote suggests that this would  therefore impact the results of the 101 analysis.  br>br>In the Courts view, FiscalNote waived its opportunity to argue that claim construction is necessary before the Court can resolve the 101 motion by not providing the Court, in its answering brief, a proposed construction and at least some explanation as to what difference adoption of that proposed construction would make. FiscalNote does a little bit better in its checklist letter, butbr>that also is too late.br>br>Even adopting FiscalNote s new proposed construction still leaves us with strong>nothing more than patent claims that involve normal computer operations. /strong>br>br>Additionally, what I have referred to today as the mental process test provides an additional clue that FiscalNotes claims are directed to an abstract idea. I incorporate here by reference all my prior discussions of the continuing usefulness of the mental process test. Applying that test here, all of what the claims of the 002 and 092 patents cover could be practiced by, and as is explained in the specification, have long been practiced by, humans without computers. br>br>/p>            p classcard-text>br>/p>a classcard-link hrefhttps://fiscalnotecourtdocuments.s3.amazonaws.com/USCOURTS-ded-1_20-cv-01736-0.pdf>strong>US District Court for the District of Delaware Memorandum Order/strong>br>/a>        /div>    /div>    p stylecolor: var(--bs-white);>FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain FiscalNote Strikes $1.3 Billion SPAC Deal.  FiscalNote Dan Germain/p>    script srcassets/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js>/script>/body>/html>
