The STRONGER Patents Act of 2017:
Support Technology & Research for Our Nation’s Growth and Economic Resilience
A number of changes over the past decade have weakened the U.S. patent system, from Supreme Court decisions to the unintended consequences of new post-grant administrative proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This weakening of U.S. patent rights has led innovation – and the jobs and economic growth that go with it – to increasingly move overseas, along with the venture capital that funds so much of our start-up and entrepreneurial growth.
The Center for Innovation and Free Enterprise supports the STRONGER Patents Act of 2017. This legislation will help restore the historic strength of the U.S. patent system.
