Washington, D.C. - The House passage today of the Patent Reform Act of 2007 promises a better future for U.S. innovators and a revitalization of the intellectual property system that is critical to the nation’s economy.Today’s vote reaffirms that intellectual property law must “promote the progress of science and useful arts.” Today’s action is a step towards restoring balance to the patent system and rewarding those who create.
The Patent Reform Act promises to check the proliferation of questionable and low-quality patents, as well as the ease with which such patents can be exploited in litigation.
CCIA congratulates the U.S. House of Representatives for its two years of intensive work and careful compromises that produced this groundbreaking legislation.
