The American Invents Act looks more and more likely to pass into law, as the bill only needs final approval from the Senate and a signature from President Obama, which he has indicated he will give.
The bill has retained proposed changes from a first to invent patent system, into a first to file system, unpopular in some quarters. The bill also addresses ending USPTO fee diversion, a strong driver of the bill, a factor that has been gaining more support as the USPTO suffers from budget cuts in the present fiscal year.
