The Alliance of U.S. Startups and Inventors for Jobs strongly supports the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2025 introduced by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE).
Chris Israel, Executive Director of USIJ, said the following regarding the introduction of PERA:
“This bipartisan and much-needed bill would strike a decade of judicial tinkering that has needlessly turned the question of patent eligibility into a confusing mess and harmed the U.S. versus our economic competitors. While the U.S. has spent a decade holding back innovations in areas such as fintech, diagnostic solutions and medical devices trying to figure out whether they are “abstract” or not, our competitors are moving forward and protecting these inventions.
PERA would be particularly beneficial to American startups and innovators by providing the clarity needed to attract investment for new ventures in essential areas such as medical devices, diagnostics, manufacturing and a whole new range of advancements powered by software.”
