Patents in the United States have become less desirable due to several factors, leading innovators to explore trade secrets as an alternative. The Supreme Court's ruling in eBay has diminished the expectation of injunctive relief for patent owners. Additionally, many tangible items and artificial intelligence inventions have been deemed patent ineligible, further complicating the innovation landscape. The patent eligibility of medical diagnostics has also narrowed, requiring a treatment step for patent protection, which negatively impacts research and development in that field.
