Yet startups face many challenges when seeking patent protection, including resource constraints, lack of internal expertise and business processes, and lack of consistency and clarity in the law of patent eligibility since the Supreme Court’s notable rulings in Alice and Mayo. Moreover, the judicial abstract idea exception of patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 continues to impair patent incentives and poses concerns about protecting investments in technology-related inventions. However, to thrive amidst uncertainties and the constant pressures facing startups, such companies should be well-versed in any developments surrounding patent laws and best practices to successfully navigate through legal complexities, build sound patent portfolios, and recognize common pitfalls which could result in long-term repercussions.
