The article then discusses three important out-standing questions regarding the application of the new test for patent eligibility: (1) what constitutes a natural phenomenon; (2) what constitutes an inventive step; and (3) what, if any, role does preemption play in the analysis? The article then provides four examples of recent lower court decisions that have applied the new test, often referred to as the Mayo Framework, in a literal manner. This application has resulted in the invalidation of claims directed towards processes that would have easily passed patent eligibility muster prior to the most recent wave of Supreme Court decisions. The Article concludes by suggesting that the Supreme Court should revisit the question of patent eligibility and re-articulate the standard in a manner better-suited to ensure the availability of meaningful patent protection for the next generation of innovation, particularly in the life sciences. If the Court fails to do so, Congress should seriously consider addressing the problem through an amendment of the statute. 000042121 525__ $$aPublished in : George Mason Law Review 000042121 605_0 $$aPatent eligibility 000042121 650__ $$aPatent 000042121 650_0 $$aMayo 000042121 650_0 $$aBiotechnology 000042121 650_0 $$aDiagnostics 000042121 85641 $$uhttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3592905$$yView this resource 000042121 904__ $$aJournal article 000042121 980__ $$aBIB
