UK: Will The Lords Have Their Say on Patentability of CIIs?

some earlier posting I had pointed to a recent decision in the UK concerning the patentability of computer-implemented inventions and business model inventions. Now

Out-Law reports:

"[...] The businessman behind a patent application that failed on the grounds of being a software program has applied to appeal the case to the House of Lords. [...]"

That would be a great opportunity to clarify the UK position, indeed. I have, however, no idea as to how big the chances really are the Lords taking up that case.
