Unfortunately, U.S. innovators, especially in the high-tech and biopharmaceutical sectors, are suffering under extreme uncertainty about how patent examiners or judges will apply the Alice-Mayo framework that was recently created by the Supreme Court. With high rates of rejections of patent applications at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and high rates of invalidations of patents by courts, the only certainty that does exist is that the U.S. no longer secures the fruits of inventive labors with reliable and effective patent rights. This represents a fundamental change in the incentives the U.S. has provided to inventors for over two centuries, as its “gold standard” patent system closes its doors to twenty-first-century innovation in the vital high-tech and biopharmaceutical fields. Congress should reform § 101 and it should not be diverted by misleading policy rhetoric or mistaken statements about the patent laws.
