The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2025 has been introduced to address the confusion and inconsistency surrounding U.S. patent eligibility law due to previous judicial decisions. Prominent lawmakers sponsor this legislation, which aims to eliminate judicial exceptions to patent eligibility established by the Supreme Court. Stakeholders from various sectors have voiced concerns over the negative emotional and economic impact on innovation. The current state of patent eligibility law is considered subjective, leading to detrimental effects across high-tech industries, as echoed by both current and former judges of the Federal Circuit.
"Virtually all the judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have lamented the sad state of the patent eligibility law, indicating a universal recognition of its deficiencies."
"The lack of a clear, consistent, repeatable test for what inventions possess the basic threshold characteristics necessary to obtain a patent has led to unpredictable business outcomes and stagnation of innovation in certain high-tech industries."
