Think Big: Tell Us Your Wildest New Year Dreams for IP
Gwen Tawresey, a partner in Troutman Pepper's Intellectual Property Practice, was quoted in the IPWatchdog article, " Think Big: Tell Us Your Wildest New Year Dreams for IP."
"I have two wishes for 2024: as with everyone, I hope 2024 is the year that section 101 finally sees some reform, either from Congress or from the Supreme Court. I suspect if it happens, it will come from one of the reform bills making their way through Congress. But I would be interested to see how Alice and its progeny fare under the Supreme Court's professed textualist philosophy. My second wish is a long shot. I would like to see public sentiment toward the patent system change. Lobbyists and other interested parties have been effective in playing up the systems' abuses on all sides over the last few years, leaving a lot of misunderstanding in the public on what the patent system is and does. It would be easier for Congress to make rational policy decisions if public sentiment was more neutral."
