Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2025

Key Points

• Congress would rewrite the basic patent-eligibility rule so more inventions can qualify for patents, aiming to reduce court confusion.
• The bill says courts should stop using judge-made “exceptions” to deny patents and instead follow a clear list of what is not patentable.
• It would still block patents on things like math formulas by themselves, purely mental processes, unmodified human genes, and unmodified natural materials.
• It would also limit patents on business-type methods (economic, financial, social, cultural, or artistic processes), especially if the only “tech” is saying “do it on a computer.”
• For everyday life, this could affect which software and biotech ideas can be patented, which can influence prices, competition, and what products reach the market.
