Bill overview
The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2022 aims to clarify patent law by limiting what can be patented. Specifically, it restricts patents to inventions that are ‘useful’ and excludes certain naturally occurring processes, mathematical formulas, and unmodified human genes or natural materials. The bill seeks to prevent patents from being granted for things like purely mental processes or naturally occurring phenomena, ensuring that patents are reserved for genuine inventions.
