Federal Circuit questions the abstractness of a gambling game patent

The Federal Circuit is questioning a patent for a game called Tic-Tac-Fruit that mixes skill and chance to avoid gambling laws.

A company from Georgia, Savvy Dog Systems LLC, claims another company, Pennsylvania Coin LLC, copied their game in a lawsuit.

However, a judge ruled that the game doesn't qualify as a technological advancement, causing the patent to fail under Section 101 of the law.
