This ambiguity in the law has inspired some lawmakers to rewrite 35 U.S. Code § 101. A bipartisan bill has been introduced by Sen. Thom Tillis, and Sen. Chris Coons, to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property. The draft bill would remove the term “new” from the present definition of 35 U.S. Code § 101 and remove the judicially made exceptions to subject matter patentability.
