Paul Morinville, Founder and former President of US Inventor, Inc., said that “some clarity is needed” but overall Congress is “on the right path”:

“This is a big step in the right direction for Congress. It eliminates judicially created exceptions to 101 completely. Without that there was no hope of fixing the mess. Now, legislation can be crafted to restore a major problem in protecting tech inventions. Some clarity is needed in what the definition of ‘through human intervention’ means in the definition of useful. This could be problematic in tech inventions in chips and software that require no human intervention. But, at first blush, I am very happy that Congress is eliminating exceptions and is on the right path.”
