Stakeholder Views on Patent-Eligible Subject Matter Jurisprudence
Stakeholder views vary on whether the Alice/Mayo framework has positively or negatively affected the patent system’s ability to encourage investment in technology and encourage innovation. In June 2022, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) submitted a report to Congress that reviewed public comments on patent subject matter eligibility from stakeholders, including legal associations, industry organizations, advocacy groups, nonprofit entities, businesses, law firms, practitioners, academics, and inventors. The variability in stakeholder views underscores an important aspect of patent and innovation policy: changes to patent policy often affect innovation differently depending on many factors, including, among other things, the economic sector, industry, and firm size in question.
