Stoll next asked the panelists whether Senator Thom Tillis’ “Patent Eligibility Restoration Act,” introduced in August, or other legislation to address Section 101 reform, has any chance of passing in the next five years. Both Knowles and Jones agreed probably not. “Always bet against legislation,” Jones said. Knowles noted that the bill was introduced by Tillis without any cosponsors, which doesn’t bode well. “I’d like to see a cosponsor,” she said. However, Jones said it may be Tillis’ intention to simply set the stage for his agenda for next year by quickly introducing the bill, or to pressure the Supreme Court to finally act so that the bill becomes moot.
