Russell Slifer, former Deputy Director of the USPTO and Principal at Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner, applauded the draft, but said it has taken too long to get here.

“The Supreme Court should never have created its own exceptions to U.S. patent laws. It has taken far too long for Congress to finally correct these errors, but this draft bill would finally strengthen our patent system.

Patent eligibility was never intended to be the tool to determine the validity of a patent. The Draft Bill should be welcomed by all inventors and innovators. I hope that this Bill has support needed to be passed by Congress.”
