1 Patentable Subject Matter Utility Disclosure Req. 112 Novelty Non-obvious Patentable
2 Patents 101 Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. 35 U.S.C. 101 WAS a Broad; permissive approach Threshold test; coarse filter Is this a policy question; balance Or simply mechanically applied?
3 Patents Exceptions Three judicial exceptions (Not patentable subject matter) laws of nature natural phenomena abstract ideas These exceptions are part of the storehouse of knowledge of all men... free to all men and reserved exclusively to none. (Funk Brothers)
4 Patents 101 Laws of Nature Mayo v. Prometheus What is the law of nature? Are any steps added to it?
5 Patents 101 Laws of Nature Must add enough; must apply law of nature Cannot simply add wellunderstood, routine, conventional activity Do claims preempt any/all use of law of nature?
6 Patents 101 Laws of Nature [C]oncern that patent law not inhibit further discovery by improperly tying up the future use of laws of nature Mayo. Deny patents on basic tools of scientific and technological works Compare to Diamond v. Diehr (Arrhenius equation used in rubber curing machine) Parker v. Flook (algorithm that calculates alarm limits in catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons)
7 Step 2. Do the claims contain an element or combination of elements that is sufficient to ensure that the patent in practice amounts to significantly more than a patent on the ineligible concept itself? (an inventive concept ) Patents 101 Laws of Nature Mayo gives us our modern approach: Step 1. Are the claims at issue directed to abstract ideas, laws of nature, or natural phenomena? If so then
8 Patents 101 Abstract Ideas Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank (S.Ct. 2014)
9 Patents 101 Abstract Ideas Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank (S.Ct. 2014) Follow Mayo Two-Step Approach If Claim is directed to an abstract idea then need an inventive concept / something more
10 Patents 101 Abstract Ideas What s the concern? Claim 35 in CLS Bank Riskmanagement agreements Downstream invention improve administration of risk-management relationships + computer elements to record and automate Directed to an abstract idea? If so do claims contain an inventive concept?
11 Patents 101 Abstract Ideas Digitech Image Tech., LLC v. Electronics for Imaging, Inc., 758 F.3d 1344 (Fed. Cir. 2014))
12 Patents 101 Natural Phenomena Asso c for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics (S.Ct. 2013)
13 v=d3foxt4mrom
14 Step 2. Do the claims contain an element or combination of elements that is sufficient to ensure that the patent in practice amounts to significantly more than a patent on the ineligible concept itself? (an inventive concept ) Patents 101 Laws of Nature Mayo gives us our modern approach: Step 1. Are the claims at issue directed to abstract ideas, laws of nature, or natural phenomena? If so then
15 Patents 101 Natural Phenomena What is the product of nature? Isolation of sequence does not save claims Claims are not to a chemical composition, but just the genetic information Separation is not an act of invention cdna claims are patentable Not naturally occurring What about method claims?
16 Basic Concern? Preemp1on of an Excep1on Claim Excep1on Law of Nature; Natural Phenomena; Abstract idea
17 Basic Concern? Inven1veness? Exception Law of Nature; Natural Phenomena; Abstract Idea Well-understood, conventional Eligible Technological Development
18 Patents 101 Laws of Nature
19 Patents 101 Abstract Ideas
20 Patents 101 Utility Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. 35 U.S.C. 101 Operable or capable of use Real question for intermediate chemical and biological products Matter of when do we award patents
21 Patents 101 Utility Brennar v. Manson Appeal from denial of patent at PTO Process claim process for producing steroid Evidence that a related steroid inhibits tumors No substantial utility Does it matter that the process works? How specific does supporting evidence need to be to establish utility?
22 Patents 101 Utility In re Fisher Appeal from denial of patent at PTO Claim 1. A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule that encodes a maize protein or fragment thereof comprising a nucleic acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1 through SEQ ID NO: 5.

62 Patents AIA Final Thoughts Scope of possible prior art broader (no geographic limitation) Filing early (or at least disclosing and then filing early) is encouraged Case law on what is a public use or printed publication likely still applicable But what about experimental use?
