118TH CONGRESS 
2D SESSION 
H. R. 9474 
To amend title 35, United States Code, to address matters relating to patent 
subject matter eligibility, and for other purposes. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 
Mr. KILEY (for himself and Mr. PETERS) introduced the following bill; which 
was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
A BILL 
To amend title 35, United States Code, to address matters 
relating to patent subject matter eligibility, and for other 
purposes. 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Patent Eligibility Res-
toration Act of 2024’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following:

of this Act, patent eligibility jurisprudence inter-

preting section 101 of title 35, United States Code, 
requires significant modification and clarification. 
(2) For many years after the original enact-
ment of section 101 of title 35, United States Code, 
the Supreme Court of the United States and other 
courts created judicial exceptions to the wording of 
that section, thereby rendering an increasing number 
of inventions ineligible for patent protection. 
(3) Efforts by judges of district courts and 
courts of appeals of the United States to apply the 
exceptions described in paragraph (2) to specific cir-
cumstances have led to extensive confusion and a 
lack of consistency— 
(A) throughout the judicial branch of the 
Federal Government and Federal agencies; and 
(B) among patent practitioners. 
(4) Many judges of the United States Court of 
Appeals for the Federal Circuit and of various dis-
trict courts of the United States have explicitly ex-
pressed the need for more guidance with respect to 
the meaning of section 101 of title 35, United States 
Code, and many patent owners, and persons that en-
gage with patent owners, complain that the interpre-
tation of that section is extremely confusing and dif-
ficult to discern and apply with any confidence.
