From Thursday's CongressDaily AM edition:
Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy does not have Judiciary ranking member Arlen Specter's support on legislation to overhaul the U.S. patent system -- at least for now. Specter issued a statement Wednesday saying the two have not come to an agreement on language that would address how damages are awarded in infringement lawsuits.
"We thought we had reached an agreement on this matter, but the language continued to shift, so we do not yet have a deal on the package," Specter said. "I am hopeful that we can reach an agreement, but more work has to be done to get it right." Read the full story here.
