ABOUT US

NewEconomyPatents.org is a forum for the advocacy of an open and technology-neutral U.S. patent system, as an essential element in the United States’ global competitiveness. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has threatened to curtail the patent eligibility of business-related methods and processes critical to U.S. leadership in information and services innovation. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reached a decision in the patent case In re Bernard L. Bilski and Rand A. Warsaw vs. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Oct. 30, 2008. NewEconomyPatents.org is sponsored by Accenture, a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, and serves as a clearinghouse of information for those interested in the debate about what innovations can be patented.
