The IDEA Act amends federal patent law to require the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to collect voluntary demographic information (including gender, race, and veteran status) from patent inventors residing in the United States. The collected information would be kept confidential and separate from patent applications, with strict procedures to ensure it does not influence patent examination. The Director would publish annual reports and make data publicly available (in anonymized form) disaggregated by demographic categories, technology class, and state, and would submit biennial reports to Congress evaluating the data collection process.
