Machine-or-transformation test

In United States patent law, the machine-or-transformation test is a test of patent eligibility under which a claim to a process qualifies for consideration if (1) the process is implemented by a particular machine in a non-conventional and non-trivial manner or (2) the process transforms an article from one state to another. The origin of the test can be traced to the 1972 government's reply brief on the merits in the US Supreme Court case Gottschalk v.
