◈ LITIGATION
Patent Eligibility of User-Interface Inventions
BY CONNOR LYNCH · OCTOBER 2, 2025
Eligibility remains a live pressure point for user-interface and software inventions — in prosecution, and again when a patent is challenged. How a claim is framed, and how it ties an interface to the underlying technical operation, often drives the outcome.
Lynch LLP works on user-interface and software inventions on both sides of that question: drafting and prosecuting applications, and litigating eligibility when it is contested. How it resolves depends on the specifics of the invention, the claims, and the record.
