The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act aims to counterbalance the restrictive implications of the Supreme Court's decisions in Mayo and Alice, aiming to facilitate easier patent acquisition.
Introduced in both the Senate and the House, PERA seeks to address the ongoing challenges patent holders face amidst a climate of stringent patent eligibility standards.
Decisions like Mayo and Alice have particularly affected software and diagnostic methods, making it notably tougher to secure patents and leading to increased invalidations.
The Federal Circuit's recent decision in BBiTV v. Amazon illustrates ongoing confusion in patent eligibility, further complicating the landscape for software-related inventions.
