Thus, practitioners seeking to show that their claims are patent-eligible should not argue that they are merely distinct from the prior art. Instead, they should explain how the differences between the claims and the prior art reflect a technology-specific problem and solution. Conversely, practitioners seeking to show that claims are not patent-eligible should demonstrate why any purported solution is not unique to a specific technology, e.g., by explaining how the solution is analogous to activities conducted mentally or on paper.[6]
