What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes the rules for what inventions can get patents. Currently, the patent office uses a complex test to decide if an invention can be patented. The new law would make it simpler by listing specific things that cannot be patented, such as math formulas that aren't part of a useful process, mental activities done only in someone's head, and unmodified human genes as they naturally exist in the body. Everything else would be eligible for patents.
