Issa Statement on Patent Reform Act of 2007

Congressman Darrell Issa today made the following statement on the "Patent Reform Act of 2007" introduced by Rep. Howard Berman. The bill seeks to reform many of the nation's patent laws and is the result of years of negotiations across the patent community. Patent reform is an important step to keep the United States a leader in innovation.

"As the holder of 37 U.S. patents, I can say from experience that our patent laws need amending," said Rep. Issa a Member of the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property who cosponsored the legislation. "While I continue to believe that further revisions may strengthen reform efforts, this bill is an excellent starting point for determining how patents can best support innovation in the United States."
