The Center for American Principles (CAP) welcomed introduction of the bipartisan, bicameral RESTORE Patent Rights Act by Senators Coons (D-DE) and Cotton (R-AR) and Representatives Moran (R-TX) and Dean (D-PA).
“Private property rights are a sacred promise and legal obligation to Americans who work, invest, and add value to our economy,” said Center for American Principles Policy Fellow Patrick Kilbride. “Americans’ rights to their intellectual property have been eroded. The RESTORE Patent Rights Act clarifies that when patented inventions are commercialized without the patent holder’s authorization the rights holder is entitled to a court injunction to stop the bleeding. Together with other urgently needed reforms, this legislation can help reinforce America’s technological leadership and national security by strengthening the U.S. patent system.”
