FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Innovation Alliance and six university associations* thanked Chairman Leahy for his delay of a markup of potential patent legislation. Together with BIO they sent a letter yesterday to Senate Judiciary Committee Members which expressed concern that the latest language being shared in advance of a potential markup would have overly burdened the legitimate enforcement of patents.
