Congress, Intellectual Property

Monday, March 2, 2009

Senate and House intellectual property leaders will hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon on Capitol Hill to discuss congressional action to overhaul the nation's patent system in the 111th Congress. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers and ranking member Lamar Smith are expected to introduce bipartisan bicameral patent legislation the same day. The House passed a patent bill last Congress 220 to 175 and the Senate Judiciary Committee reported a similar measure. The bill stalled after Leahy and ranking member Arlen Specter collided over differences on how damages should be awarded in patent lawsuits.
