Bill overview
The Balancing Incentives Act of 2024 aims to change how patents are challenged in the United States. Specifically, it requires patent owners to give their consent before a petition for inter partes review or post-grant review can be filed. This change is intended to balance the incentives for innovation with the ability to challenge potentially invalid patents. The bill modifies existing sections of Title 35 of the United States Code to include this consent requirement.
