AIPLA s basic complaint is that the Supreme Court has created uncertainty about what is eligible for patenting they claim their proposal will provide certainty again. The AIPLA proposal is essentially identical to the Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) s January proposal, which Patent Progress covered back in February. As Matt Levy said, this is a solution in search of a problem. Both proposals serve one set of interests: the interests of patent owners. Everyone else isn t going to find much to like here. AIPLA s main goal is to eliminate any real constraint on subject matter eligibility. While they claim 101 is not meant to provide the standard for deciding whether a particular technical advance should receive patent protection, a series of Supreme Court cases have outlined why 101 does exactly that. More importantly, the Court explains that 101 has to, because it protects access to the basic tools of scientific and technological work. AIPLA s proposal does not.

But if you add a computer, or even a pencil and paper, it s suddenly patentable. Patent Progress Blog Resource Center 1/5
2 by topic: NONE cases documents BCD-Decimal Conversion Table from the Benson Patent Application Invalidated in Gottschalk v. Benson So a patent on translating from binary digits to decimal digits? Patentable, as long as it s computer-implemented (even though such a patent was rejected in Gottschalk and would have set back the development of computer technology by decades.) RSS - Posts Follow us on Twitter Tweets Figure from the Morse Telegraph Patent Invalidated in the O Reilly v. Morse A patent on using electromagnetism to transmit characters over a distance? Patentable (even though Morse rejected it.) AIPLA rejects the basic cases that have guided subject-matter eligibility since the beginning of patent law. Some Obvious Problems The AIPLA proposal also changes may obtain a patent subject to the conditions and requirements of this title to shall be entitled to a patent only subject to the conditions and requirements set forth in this title. While this may sound like a small change, AIPLA itself admits that it s intended to eliminate any discretion the PTO or courts might have.

3 Portion of AIPLA s Proposal AIPLA tries to call this an improvement, saying the days of the common law development of the so-called judicial exceptions to patent eligibility have passed. What they don t say is that this change could eliminate the existing exceptions as well. There are a number of these, including so-called obviousness-type double patenting. This rule was created to prevent patentees from obtaining extensions of their patent monopoly. Essentially, if a patent application has claims that are an obvious variation of another application (or patent) by the same inventor, then obviousness-type double patenting requires them to file a terminal disclaimer, which limits the lifespan of the new patent and prevents it from being transferred independent of the old patent. The point of the rule against obviousness-type double patenting is simple patent owners shouldn t be able to get trivial variations of their patent and extend their term by doing so. The patent bargain is exclusivity for a limited time. But the statute itself doesn t set the rule against obviousness-type double patenting; courts created this doctrine for public benefit (backstopped by 101.) And because the statute itself doesn t set the rule against obvious variations by a patent owner, the AIPLA amendment appears to eliminate it. What does that really mean? It means that, among other things, companies would have a new avenue to evergreen their patents. File within a year of original filing, or even later if the original application hasn t published yet, and you can get a year, or even more, of term extension. In some cases (such as pharmaceuticals), that extra year of exclusivity might be worth billions of dollars. AIPLA drafted this amendment to provide certainty, and it will. Adopting this will certainly result in the issuance of patents that never should have granted.
