PREVAIL will wait until post-election
Daniel Shaw ’24, July 3, “More clarity to PREVAIL in the US patent system?” BUSINESS WEEKLY, accessed July 17, 2024, https://www.businessweekly.co.uk/posts/more-clarity-to-prevail-in-the-us-patent-system
The proposed “Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership” (PREVAIL) Act was introduced to Congress in June 2023. This aims to reform the PTAB for the benefit of patent owners, for example by prohibiting duplicative proceedings.
Previous versions of PERA and PREVAIL have appeared on the legislative agenda in the past with little success, so it remains to be seen whether either will become law.
Further progress will certainly need to wait at least until after the Presidential election in November.
