b) Williams & Wilkins v. United States
c) Parker v. Flook
d) Diamond v. Diehr

Answer 1

The case that was not part of the Supreme Court's 'software-eligibility trilogy' is Williams & Wilkins v. United States.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is 2. Williams & Wilkins v. United States. This case was not one of the Supreme Court's 'software-eligibility trilogy' of cases.

The 'software-eligibility trilogy' refers to three landmark Supreme Court cases that established the eligibility criteria for software patents. The cases in this trilogy are:

1. Gottschalk v. Benson
2. Parker v. Flook
3. Diamond v. Diehr

Each of these cases contributed to the development of the legal framework for determining whether a particular software invention is eligible for patent protection.
