IPWatchdog Founder and CEO Gene Quinn said that “the legislative language is good,” and noted that the proposed definition of “useful” seems to be intended “to explicitly overrule AMP v. Myriad and bring us back to Diamond v. Chakrabarty, which is outstanding. Even better are what Senators Tillis and Coons identify as ‘other statutory provisions’ that explicitly abrogate the much criticized judicial exceptions.”
Quinn added that his recent article expressing concern that big tech was dominating the legislative roundtable discussions behind the scenes “obviously, was incorrect. This fix, if enacted, would be exactly what the patent system needs and is extremely pro-innovator,” Quinn said.
