Honorable [Senator’s Name],
I’m reaching out as an American citizen deeply concerned about our nation’s position in innovation due to current patent system challenges. Inventors put years into their ideas, only for them to potentially be dismissed as ‘common sense’, denying them patent protection. Additionally, key fields like AI and medical diagnostics are unprotected here, unlike in Europe and China, putting us at a global disadvantage.
The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2023, supported by Senators Thom Tillis and Chris Coons, offers a solution. This bill aims to strengthen our patent system and reignite American innovation. I strongly urge you to back this legislation.
The patent process is rigorous. After navigating it, inventors still face potential court challenges on validity. The current system, with judges sometimes lacking technical know-how, results in inconsistent rulings. The Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), with the right expertise, should decide patent eligibility, not courts.
Recent Supreme Court decisions have created confusion in patent guidelines. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2023 can clarify these issues, promote innovation in emerging sectors, and re-establish the U.S. as a global innovation leader.
Please support this act, ensuring a robust future for American innovation.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
