Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether the Federal Circuit's approach to patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 flouts this Court's instruction to consider preemption, as discussed in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International and Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc.

2. Whether the Federal Circuit erred in holding that claims directed to the application of machine-learning techniques to new data environments are categorically ineligible for patent protection under Section 101, absent a showing of improvement to the underlying machine-learning model itself.

Question Presented (AI Summary)
