From the Alliance

Chairman Coons, Ranking Member Tillis, and Members of the Subcommittee,

On behalf of the Innovation Alliance, I want to thank you for your leadership in introducing the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (S. 2140) and for convening this hearing on this legislation that is so critical to U.S. technology leadership. Repairing more than a decade of Supreme Court jurisprudence that has eroded the eligibility of key inventions for patent protections is essential to maintain U.S. global technology leadership and incentivize R&D and commercialization of critical and emerging technologies in the United States. As a coalition of research and development-based technology companies that believe maintaining a strong patent system is critical to supporting innovative enterprises of all sizes, the Innovation Alliance is committed to working collaboratively with the members of this Subcommittee and your colleagues to enact this important legislation.
