It looks like the legislation they lobbied for pertains specifically to "...a method or corresponding apparatus for performing data processing operations used in the practice, administration or management of a financial product or service."

Hmm...

> the language of Mr. Schumer’s provision seems aimed at banks or, specifically, "a method or corresponding apparatus for performing data processing operations used in the practice, administration or management of a financial product or service."

It'd be nice if they'd attack business method patents in general, instead of just trying to carve out a little exception for themselves.
