Restoring America’s Leadership in Innovation Act of 2025

This bill makes several changes to how patents work in America. It switches back to a system where the first person to invent something gets the patent, instead of the current system where the first person to file an application gets it. The bill removes certain ways that people can challenge patents after they are granted and gets rid of the office that handles those challenges. It makes it easier to get patents by limiting what inventions can be rejected - only things that exist in nature without human involvement or exist only in someone's mind would be rejected. The bill also makes it easier for patent owners who win court cases to stop others from copying their inventions, and it limits what published materials can be used to argue that an invention isn't new enough for a patent.
