Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2022 This bill modifies the responsibilities of U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) satellite offices and addresses related issues. The bill increases the discount on patent-related fees for small and micro entities. An entity that falsely claims such a discount shall be subject to a fine, in addition to any other existing penalties. The bill also modifies the statutory purpose of PTO satellite offices to include (1) outreach activities targeting certain groups, such as low-income populations, veterans, and geographic groups that are underrepresented in patent filings; and (2) targeting patent examiners and administrative patent judges from economically, geographically, and demographically diverse backgrounds in the PTO's retention activities. For each satellite office established after January 1, 2023, the PTO must consider the office's proximity to anchor institutions (e.g., hospitals primarily serving veterans and institutions of higher education) and certain groups, such as low-income populations, veterans, and geographic groups that are underrepresented in patent filings. The PTO must establish (1) a satellite office in the southeastern United States within three years of this bill's enactment, (2) at least four community outreach offices throughout the United States within five years of this bill's enactment, and (3) a pilot program to help prospective first-time patent applicants assess the strengths and weaknesses of a potential patent application. The PTO must also (1) conduct and report to Congress a study on patent pro bono programs, including whether such programs are sufficiently serving prospective and existing participants; and (2) use the study's findings to update such pro bono programs.

I have discussed patent eligibility issues and potential amendments to 35 USC 101, including S.4734 (the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2022). I have also discussed potential amendments to the inter partes review process (35 USC 311 et seq), including those proposed in previous Congresses, e.g., S.2082 and H.R.3666 (STRONGER Patents Act of 2019). I have also addressed some of the provisions relating to patent litigation contained in these two bills (such as the abrogation of the holding in eBay v. MercExchange). I have discussed discretionary denials of institution by the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) and potential remedies for the potential Appointments Clause problem for the PTAB, which are addressed in S.2891 (Restoring the America Invents Act). I have also discussed general patent quality issues and the funding of the U.S. Patent and Trademark through fees, which do not relate directly (for now) to any particular bill. I have also discussed the mandatory recordation of patent assignments as addressed in S.2774 (Pride in Patent Ownership Act). Finally, I have discussed efforts to expand innovation and patenting to be more inclusive of persons with diverse backgrounds, including two bills that would authorize the Patent and Trademark Office to collect certain voluntarily-submitted demographic information: e.g., H.R.1723 and S.632 (the IDEA Act) and one that would take a variety of other actions to expand American innovation: S.2773 (Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2021). Additionally, I have advocated against H.R.5874 - the Restoring Americas Leadership in Innovation Act of 2021 and in favor of S.4417 - the Patent Trial and Appeal Board Reform Act of 2022.

I have discussed patent eligibility issues and potential amendments to 35 USC 101. Members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees have publicly expressed interest in introducing a bill, but no bill has been introduced to date. I have also discussed potential amendments to the inter partes review process (35 USC 311 et seq), including those proposed in last Congress's S.2082 and H.R.3666 (STRONGER Patents Act of 2019). I have also addressed some of the provisions relating to patent litigation contained in these two bills (such as the abrogation of the holding in eBay v. MercExchange). I have discussed discretionary denials of institution by the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) and potential remedies for the potential Appointments Clause problem for the PTAB, both of which are addressed in S.2891 (Restoring the America Invents Act). I have also discussed general patent quality issues and the funding of the U.S. Patent and Trademark through fees, which do not relate directly (for now) to any particular bill. I have also discussed the mandatory recordation of patent assignments as addressed in S.2774 (Pride in Patent Ownership Act). Finally, I have discussed efforts to expand innovation and patenting to be more inclusive of persons with diverse backgrounds, including two bills that would authorize the Patent and Trademark Office to collect certain voluntarily-submitted demographic information: H.R.1723 and S.632 (the IDEA Act) and one that would take a variety of other actions to expand American innovation: S.2773 (Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2021).
