Patent Reform on the Fast Track in Congress?
PatentlyO reports here that the House version of patent reform legislation, H.R. 1249, will be the first item that the Senate will take up after its August recess. Rather than attempt to reconcile the differences between the House and Senate passed bills, the Democratic majority intends to attempt to invoke cloture and pass the House bill as is, potentially speeding the legislation to President Obama's desk.
Perhaps, at long last, patent reform is at hand.
