Recentive Analytics filed a petition seeking to overturn a Federal Circuit ruling that invalidated its machine learning patent claims. The firm's argument is that this decision contradicts the Supreme Court's patent-eligibility standards and discourages innovation in critical technological fields. The ruling said the claims were merely abstract ideas using known methods. Recentive contends that the court's interpretation blurs the lines between patent eligibility under Section 101 and other patentability standards, hindering advancements in technology that utilize machine learning.
"Until the panel decision, this Court had never suggested that Alice step one requires a patent to claim both (1) a new application of an established process and (2) an improvement to the technology used in that process."
