The effort to implement FAIR principles has led many organizations to adopt a data-centric culture that values collaboration and encourages the sharing of data. Although many successes have been reported, and much progress made, after seven years, only a very small fraction of data is truly FAIR.

U.S. patent practitioners have had a rocky relationship with the once-straightforward patent eligibility requirement under 35 U.S.C. 101 in recent years. Decisions such as Mayo and Alice upended the status quo, muddying the threshold test for patent subject matter eligibility. When dealing with difficult 101 rejections under this new status quo, it can sometimes help to think outside of the box about how to overcome a given rejection.
