Leahy recently introduced the Patent Transparency and Improvements Act of 2013 to protect retailers and innovators from misuse of the patent system. The Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the legislation later this month.] “I commend the House for taking action to address the growing problem of patent trolls. Supporting American innovators and protecting those who are being targeted by patent trolls is a bipartisan priority. Targeted reforms should address abuses in the system while ensuring that legitimate inventors can continue to succeed and grow our economy. I look forward to working through the Committee process in the Senate to achieve this goal.” # # # # # Press Contact Press Contact David Carle: 202-224-3693 Next Article Previous Article	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
