NJ Mag: Patent Reform, Pending
Subscribers to National Journal magazine may be interested in a lengthy story in the May 5 issue (p. 56) that dissects the patent reform debate, largely from the lobbying perspective.
Here's an excerpt:
As Congress prepares to rewrite the nation's patent law, lobbyists from dueling industries are trying to elbow one another aside in their eagerness to steer legislators through the controversial process. The jostling lobbyists hired by rival sectors -- including giant computer software and hardware companies, small information-technology firms, and pharmaceutical manufacturers -- are focusing, for now, on the House and Senate Judiciary committees. Looking to bolster their clout further, companies have linked up in industry coalitions that are trying to shape the reforms.
