Significant and time-dependent post from the #EFF: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/patent-office-about-make-bad-patents-untouchable
Basically, the US Patent Office is seriously considering a set of rule changes that would make life easier for #patentTrolls, and harder for the folks trying to oppose them.
Sounds like a terrible plan, and the window for public comment is short (basically a week at this point), so it's worth checking out the article (and maybe commenting) now.

"As all things old are new again, a bill that would make obtaining bad patents easier and harder to challenge is being considered in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) would reverse over a decade of progress in fighting patent trolls and making the patent system more balanced.
PERA would overturn long-standing court decisions that have helped keep some of the most problematic patents in check. This includes the Supreme Court’s Alice v. CLS Bank decision, which bars patents on abstract ideas. While Alice has not completely solved the problems of the patent system or patent trolling, it has led to the rejection of hundreds of low-quality software patents and, as a result, has allowed innovation and small businesses to grow."

Nintendo has successfully patented the concept of summoning - a concept which dates back millennia and is absolutely part of our common cultural legacy.
The Patent Office is just another of the relics of corrupt end-stage capitalism which must be swept away and replaced with something better.

"The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) just made a move that will protect bad patents at the expense of everyone else. In a memo released February 28, the USPTO further restricted access to inter partes review, or IPR—the process Congress created to let the public challenge invalid patents without having to wage million-dollar court battles.
If left unchecked, this decision will shield bad patents from scrutiny, embolden patent trolls, and make it even easier for hedge funds and large corporations to weaponize weak patents against small businesses and developers."

"The rights we have in the offline world–to speak freely, create culture, play games, build new things and do business–must be available to us online, as well. This core belief drives EFF’s work to fight the misuse of the patent system.
Despite significant progress we’ve made over the last decade, patents, and in particular vague software patents, remain a serious threat to online rights. The median patent lawsuit isn't filed by what Americans would recognize as an ‘inventor,’ but by an anonymous limited liability company that provides no products or services, and instead uses patents to threaten others over alleged infringement. In other words, a patent troll. In the tech sector, more than 85% of patent lawsuits are filed by these “non-practicing entities.”
That’s why at EFF, we continue to help individuals and organizations fight patent threats related to everyday activities like using CAPTCHAs and picture menus, tracking packages or vehicles, teaching languages, holding online contests, or playing simple games online.
Here’s where the fight stands as we move into 2025."
