Abstract
The Supreme Court has long held that laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas, are not patent eligible, even though these exceptions to patent eligibility appear nowhere in the patent statute. Whether and how Congress could abrogate these exceptions depends on the extent to which they derive from the Constitution, but that is not entirely clear.
