ETA Praises Introduction of PATENT Act

April 29, 2015 – Statement by Jason Oxman, CEO of ETA, regarding the introduction of the Protecting American Talent and Entrepreneurship (PATENT) Act of 2015 by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Ranking Member Patrick Leahy (D-VT), and Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Lee (R-UT).

“We applaud the Leadership of Senators Grassley, Leahy, Cornyn, Schumer, Hatch,  Klobuchar, and Lee, who today introduced the PATENT Act to restore fairness to the patent ligation system and combat the growing problem of patent trolls. This bipartisan bill shifts the legal burden back onto those who are abusing the patent system. Innovative technology plays a vital role in the American economy and this legislation will allow businesses to focus on growth, not costly, needless litigation.”
