Section 101 and Lifesciences: Current U.S. and International Perspectives

The United States America Invents Act (AIA) of 2011 did not amend the patent subject matter eligibility standards under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Yet, despite the AIA’s goal to provide greater global patent law harmonization, the current state of subject matter eligibility law in the U.S. is decidedly not aligned with this long-standing effort. Examine the current status of U.S. subject matter eligibility for life sciences, understand how it compares to other major international jurisdictions, and explore how the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office might navigate current U.S. case law without devastating the life sciences industry.
