Federal Circuit Further Defines Eligibility Standard for Composition Patent

Feb 13, 2025

In US Synthetic Corp. v. ITC, the Federal Circuit issued a precedential decision providing useful guidance on the application of 35 U.S.C. § 101, which governs patent eligibility.

The case offers valuable clarification on how to assess claims involving physical compositions of matter under the two-step framework established by the Supreme Court in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International.
