The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act would abrogate Supreme Court rulings on subject matter eligibility under 35 U.S.C. §101 and seek to reduce pre‑Alice uncertainty. A coalition of IP experts urged the UKIPO to disregard theories of patent holdup and royalty stacking that lack empirical support. Chinese antitrust regulators will investigate Qualcomm for potential anti‑monopoly violations following its acquisition of Autotalks. The Third Circuit held that determinations making injectable insulin drugs eligible for Medicare negotiations are precluded from judicial review under the Inflation Reduction Act. The U.S. Supreme Court requested the Solicitor General's views on whether trademark conceptual strength is law or fact. The Motion Picture Association asserted that OpenAI bears responsibility for addressing copyright liability from infringing outputs. The UPC announced a new third appellate panel to begin hearing cases in January.
