In Gottschalk v. Benson ( 1972 ), the United States Supreme Court ruled that a patent for a process should not be allowed if it would " wholly pre-empt the mathematical formula and in practical effect would be a patent on the algorithm itself ", adding that " it is said that the decision precludes a patent for any program servicing a computer.
