Rose Discusses Patent Eligibility Update

Senior Counsel Daniel Rose was quoted in a World IP Review article, “USPTO issues patent eligibility update,” about last week’s release of an update to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s 2019 patent eligibility guidance.

Rose said the updated guidance distinguishes between ineligible claims that are directed to a mathematical concept and eligible claims that are merely based on or involve such concepts, but are directed to other technological inventions. “It remains to be seen how broadly examiners will apply this category in view of the updated guidance,” he said.
