Statement from the Higher Education Community on S. 1720, the “Patent Transparency and Improvements Act of 2013”
We write to communicate the views of the higher education community on S. 1720, the “Patent Transparency and Improvement Act of 2013.” We commend Chairman Leahy and his original co-sponsors Senators Lee, Whitehouse, and Klobuchar for introducing legislation effectively focused on curbing abusive patent litigation practices while preserving the ability of patent holders effectively to enforce their patent rights.
