Stronger Patent Rights: Easier Court Orders to Stop Infringement.
This law aims to strengthen the rights of inventors and small businesses holding patents. It establishes a rule that if a court finds patent infringement, the patent owner is presumed entitled to a permanent injunction (a court order to stop the infringing activity). This change is designed to deter large companies from copying patented technology, thereby protecting innovation and supporting smaller enterprises.
Key points
Makes it easier for patent owners to obtain a permanent injunction (stop order) once infringement is proven in court.
Strengthens the position of individual inventors, startups, and small businesses in patent disputes against larger corporations.
Restores the historical legal practice of presuming that patent infringement warrants an immediate halt to the copying activity unless the defendant proves otherwise.
