Washington Examiner: Conservative groups demand Congress protect intellectual property from patent abuse by Ross O’Keefe
A collection of 28 conservative groups is urging Republican Congress members to pass the PERA, PREVAIL, and RESTORE acts — all aimed at patent protection — as Chinese influence permeates U.S. intellectual property.
The groups include Heritage Action for America, the Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and the U.S. Business and Industry Council.
“These three bills would bolster the reliability, certainty, and strength of American patents,” the groups said. “They would clarify and refine elements of the patenting process, making it easier for legitimate patent claims to reach fruition and withstand what would become fairer, more consistent, impartial scrutiny once granted.”
