Inventors Express Disappointment in Senator Leahy’s Restoring the America Invents Act
(Washington, DC) The Inventor’s Project, a non-partisan group of inventors, sent a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) in opposition to the Restoring the America Invents Act. The letter is signed by 107 inventors from across the country. The signers include inventors from organizations that together represent more than 100,000 American inventors generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
The letter states in part:
“Innovation has set us apart from other countries, and policies that make it harder to innovate, harder to defend intellectual property, and harder to profit from intellectual property do nothing to advance the US economy and put the economy into cruise control at best and a fatal economic stall at worst.”
The America Invents Act was first sponsored by Sen. Leahy and former Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2011.
The inventors are calling on Congress for changes that make patents stronger, restoring the value of patents in the eyes of investors, and returning the incentive for individuals to risk everything to develop a better mousetrap.
Inventors depend on strong intellectual property laws to defend their innovations- create jobs- and secure investors. The Inventor’s Project was created to help protect those laws through education.
