Crouch of the University of Missouri School of law. 　　【例句分析】本句中as引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Bilski。 　　【难点点拨】In re是in regard to的缩写，意为“关于”。 　　【例句译文】密苏里大学法学院的Dennis D. Crouch 表示，正如人们所知道的那样，Bilski案件确实是一件非常大的事情。 　　【典型例句4】Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. 　　【例句分析
