Congress is trying to enact the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA), S. 2140 which restores the patentability of abstract ideas (such as computer algorithms) to be patentable and REVAIL Act, S. 2220 which would limit the right to challenge improperly granted patents.

The FAA is proposing to require that every drone be equipped with wireless internet capability and continuously update its location to an internet database during flight. This will presumably cost 20=50$ per month for the connectivity, and add significant weight to each drone. A much cheaper and lighter alternative not being considered by the FAA is to have a transponder for each drone that broadcasts a unique ID. Comments can be submitted till Monday.
