Unfortunately, things are not so black and
white. The Supreme Court and a recent Appeals Court decision ruled
that if the mathematics are an integral part of a process then they are
patentable as part of the process. In other words, using the article's
wording, the mathematics are not "abstract" or "works of nature" if they are
part of a process. In the AmiBroker world, this raises the question as to
whether or not a trading system is a process. Very murky waters that keeps
patent attorneys employed and undoubtedly will produce more work for the Supreme
Court in the future. Bottom line, as noted before, follow the Fair Use
doctrine to the letter and err on the conservative side.

I may add that mathematical ideas (including algorithms) should
never have any patents granted
http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/patent/app2.html
and
this rule is usually followed, however
US Patent office has unfortuntally
has granted several ridiculous patents.
