1- It's PERA that changes the alice/mayo test. PREVAIL is the old STRONGER Patents act that is introduced every Congress.

2- Yeah, the one 'reasonable' complaint of IPR critics is the different evidentiary bar for litigation vs IPR.

IANAL but it's difficult to find a member of the patent bar outside of pharma/npe's that supports either bill.

that's it exactly. Pharma really should have its own patent regime, or at least, software & pharma should not have the same one.
