Reintroduction of the Balancing Incentives Act of 2025

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to reintroduce the ``Balancing Incentives Act'' of 2025, Bipartisan legislation to restore fairness and integrity to America's patent system.

Innovation is the beating heart of American progress. From workshops and factories to classrooms and garages, inventors across our Nation embody the creativity, determination, and optimism that define the American spirit. They turn ideas into opportunities and dreams into progress.

Yet too many inventors face an uneven playing field that makes it harder to protect their work. The ``Balancing Incentives Act'' ensures that inventors have a fair chance to defend their creations.

By doing so, we reaffirm that innovation belongs to everyone with an idea and the determination to bring it to fruition.

With the ``Balancing Incentives Act,'' we stand up for the spirit of American ingenuity that built our middle class, that powers our industries and continues to light the way toward a more prosperous and inventive future.

By standing up for inventors, we stand up for America's future. Because what America makes and grows, makes and grows America.

I urge my colleagues to join myself and Congressman Thomas Massie in supporting this vital legislation.
