談了幾年的改革，主要方向是將先發明主義（first to invent）為基礎的法律改為先申請主義（first to file）的法律系統。若是這樣，直接相關的法律根據是102(a),(e)
2011.3.8美國參議會通過美國專利採取先申請主義的規則的議案，目前現行先發明主義的原始構想確實應該是保障發明人的最好方式，甚至可以透過證明先發明而撤銷已存專利（申請前已知），也保障發明人於一定公開期限內獲得自己的專利。但是先發明認定有一定困難，並且耗時耗費金錢，就成為修法的動機。這樣改變自然與其他各國同調，使得也同時保障國外專利權人、申請人的權利！
眾院司法委員會主席對參議院通過專利改革法案的評論：
In the wake of Senate passage of patent reform legislation, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) called the 95-5 vote "a victory for American innovators who create businesses, generate jobs and drive economic growth." Since the Judiciary Committee will be the first stop for this bill when it gets to the House, Rep. Smith's comments are encouraging. In the March 9 press release, he added the following:
"The Senate bill makes several important changes to our patent system. The House will introduce similar legislation this month that will help turn the ideas of American innovators into companies and jobs.
"Adopting a first-inventor-to-file standard creates certainty about patent ownership and makes it easier for American innovators to apply for patents around the world. The post-grant review process helps to reduce frivolous lawsuits filed by holders of weak or overbroad patents. And allowing for the third party submission of prior art helps prevent bad patents from being granted in the first place. These are just a few of the many provisions for which there is widespread support.
"Today's vote is an important development in our efforts toward meaningful patent reform. I look forward to achieving much-needed patent reform for American innovators and job creators."
