Fitch Even's litigation practice involves all areas of IP including patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright, unfair competition, and related commercial disputes. The firm served as counsel in the landmark patent case ''Arrhythmia v. Corazonix'' that dealt with the issue of patentable subject matter before the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.〔(''Arrhythmia Research Technology, Inc., v. Corazonix Corp'', 958 F.2d 1053. ) Retrieved on July 5, 2007〕〔http://digital-law-online.info/cases/22PQ2D1033.htm〕 The firm successfully argued that a software-based mathematical method used in monitoring a patient's heart was patentable subject matter.〔(Ibid. ) Retrieved on July 5, 2007〕 The Federal Circuit relied on ''Arrhythmia'' in a subsequent case, ''State Street Bank v. Signature Financial Group'', that expanded patentable subject matter to include business methods.〔(''State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group'', 149 F.3d 1368. ) Cornell Law.
