Freeman-Walter-Abele is a now outdated judicial test in United States patent law. It came from three decisions of the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals—In re Freeman,[1] 573 F.2d 1237 (C.C.P.A. 1978), In re Walter, 618 F.2d 758 (C.C.P.A. 1980);[2] and In re Abele, 684 F.2d 902 (C.C.P.A. 1982) [3]—which attempted to comply with then-recent decisions of the Supreme Court concerning software-related patent claims.
