The document discusses business models and patent eligibility for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It describes key components of IoT business models including business resources, value propositions, and profit models. It then outlines the two-step test for patent eligibility established by the Supreme Court, where an invention must not claim ineligible subject matter and must provide an inventive concept or elements that transform the nature of the invention. Finally, it notes that most IoT business model value propositions will be considered abstract ideas, so claims need additional elements connecting the idea to a specific machine or process to demonstrate patent eligibility.
