Subject: 

The USPTO’s Subject Matter Eligibility Guidance instructs examiners to consider 
only whether elements other than the natural product(s), natural phenomenon, or 
law of nature support eligibility. The Supreme Court decision in Alice shows that 
that approach is erroneous. Under Alice and Mayo, Examiners should be 
instructed to consider all claim elements “individually” and “in … combination” 
when assessing eligibility.
