Standard Summary

Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

The Restoring America’s Leadership in Innovation Act of 2025 seeks to strengthen U.S. innovation by reforming the patent system to revert to a first-to-invent model, abolish certain administrative patent reviews, expand patent eligibility for software and scientific discoveries, and reinforce patents as private property rights enforceable through judicial proceedings.

Key Points

1Reverts the patent system from first-to-file to first-to-invent, restoring pre-AIA practices.
2Eliminates the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and inter partes/post-grant reviews, shifting patent validity disputes to courts.
3Expands patent eligibility for software, life sciences, and other technologies by overturning Supreme Court precedents like Alice and Myriad.
