Stronger Patent Protection: Easier Court Orders to Stop Infringement.
This bill aims to strengthen the rights of inventors and small businesses by making it easier for them to obtain a court order to stop ongoing patent infringement. If a court finds infringement, there will be a presumption that a permanent injunction should be granted, unless the infringing party proves otherwise. This increases the security of investments in innovation, potentially leading to more new products and technologies available to citizens.
Key points
Change in Patent Law: Establishes a rebuttable presumption that a court should grant a permanent injunction after finding patent infringement.
Empowering Inventors: Makes it easier for individual inventors, startups, and small businesses to defend themselves against large corporations that willfully infringe patents.
Protecting Innovation: Aims to discourage the illegal copying of technology, thereby supporting scientific and technical progress in the U.S.
