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.
