Breaking: USPTO To Revisit 101 Guidance

Director Robert E. Sokohl was quoted in the Managing IP article “Breaking: USPTO To Revisit 101 Guidance,” which addresses the USPTO’s solicitation of comments on its subject matter eligibility guidance. From the article:

“Robert Sokohl, a director in Sterne Kessler’s electronics practice group in Washington DC, said this development was encouraging and that Vidal’s leadership was greatly needed and appreciated.

‘In addition to Director Vidal’s efforts, which are a solid step in the right direction for those seeking patent protection, we recognise that action by Congress, the Federal Circuit, and the Supreme Court is also needed to provide further clarity in this critical area of intellectual property law.'”
