This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 14 January 2019 and 24 April 2019. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): MPhillips8980.
The article currently states that this Act "reversed certain provisions in the 1946 law which had made it impossible to patent processes for generating nuclear energy or fissile materials."
Yet the linked 1954 law states in Section 11: "No patent shall hereafter be granted for any invention or discovery which is useful solely in the utilization of special nuclear material or atomic energy in an atomic weapon" and "No patent hereafter granted shall confer any rights with respect to any invention or discovery to the extent that such invention or discovery is used in the utilization of special nuclear material or atomic energy in atomic weapons." The same language appears in the current law. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/2181
So I do not see what was "reversed." The patentability bar appears to have survived. Tisiwoota (talk) 04:54, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
