💡 Section 101 keeps basic concepts and common business methods from being locked up by patents – and stops trolls from weaponizing them against Main Street. Protect Section 101. ⚖️🛡️

The bottom line is: USPTO overstepped when it gutted IPR. Congress wrote the America Invents Act, and only Congress can change it.
It's time to restore IPR ⚖️ protect Main Street 🏪 and hold USPTO accountable 🔎 #StandWithMainStreet
Patents given for Fiction - "invalid because it can’t be recreated" #FixPatents news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law…

⚖️ Oversight means hard questions: Why does Director Squires deny IPR petitions 10-20 at a time with no explanation? Why is USPTO instituting fewer than 20% of petitions? Why is USPTO overriding a system Congress built?
Main Street is paying the price. #StandWithMainStreet

Genuine innovation deserves patent protection — mere abstract ideas don't. @SenJudiciaryGOP / @JudiciaryDems should protect the eligibility standards that keep the patent system focused on real technological advances and safeguard U.S. businesses.

Main Street businesses are the heart and soul of local economies and jobs, but @USPTO has gutted IPR, the very tool that protects them from patent trolls. That’s exactly why Main Street needs IPR restored! #StandWithMainStreet. ❤️ 💪

Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank reaffirmed that abstract ideas, including common business methods, can’t be patented – saving Main Street billions, preventing frivolous lawsuits & stopping patent trolls from profiting off invalid patents. Protect Section 101. ⚖️🛡️

Reauthorizing USPTO's fee-setting authority should come with a condition: restore access to IPR.
It's the efficient, expert path Congress built through the America Invents Act to catch invalid patents, and the USPTO's harmful changes to the program should be undone. ⚖️

Weak patents don’t stay inside the USPTO – they find their way to Main Street and force costly settlements or shuttered businesses. 🚫
Examination quality is Main Street’s defense. 🔰

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, IP, AI & Internet holds a hearing today on USPTO fee-setting authority. Fees should fund examiner time, tools and training for high-quality patents. That's the standard Congress should set🏛️ Tune in here: youtube.com/live/OJGMbSvUU3w…

Today, the House Judiciary #IP Subcommittee is holding a hearing on the @USPTO Fee Setting Authority. CCIA supports USPTO accountability, including returning to implementing rather than undermining Congress’ mandates in the #AIA.

CCIA supports patent quality improvements in the @USPTO examination process to encourage high-quality, clear patents and reduce ambiguous patents with overly broad claims. A working #PTAB is also vital to catch anything examiners missed. #Patents #AmericaInvents

CCIA has joined multiple other trade associations in the technology sector to file an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to hear a #Patent case, Intel v. Squires. We are urging the Court to protect inter partes review, a critical tool for challenging weak patents and combating abusive patent litigation. Undermining IPR would give patent trolls more leverage to target innovators, driving up litigation costs and ultimately prices for consumers. Read more: buff.ly/BnkaAXa

The patent system has real problems that need action from Congress – but Section 101 isn’t one of them. Main Street needs Congress to restore IPR and stop duplicative lawsuits against Main Street. unitedforpatentreform.com/_f…

Patent trolls exploit weak patents to extract costly settlements from American innovators. Congress created inter partes review to challenge invalid patents, but recent USPTO policies threaten to undermine that safeguard. CCIA and industry allies urge the Supreme Court to hear Tesla v. Granite Vehicle Ventures and uphold Congress’s #Patent reforms. Read more: buff.ly/6PPxUQX

Congress should reject rolling back Section 101. It's kept trolls from patenting basic business methods done on a computer — preventing frivolous lawsuits and saving businesses and consumers billions since Alice v. CLS Bank. It needs to stay intact! unitedforpatentreform.com/_f…
