What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill changes the rules about what kinds of inventions can get a patent. Right now, there is a multi-step process to figure out if an invention qualifies for a patent based on what it covers. Under this bill, an invention could only be denied a patent for specific reasons, such as if it is a math formula not part of a useful process or machine, a process that happens only in someone's mind, or an unmodified human gene as it naturally exists in the body. The goal of the change is to more clearly define what cannot be patented, rather than using the current broader approach.
