Strengthening Patent Protection: Easier to Stop Infringement
This bill aims to make it easier for patent owners, including small businesses and individual inventors, to obtain court orders stopping others from unauthorized use of their inventions. It means that if a patent is infringed, the court will generally presume that an injunction should be granted, unless the infringer proves otherwise. This is intended to protect innovators and their rights to benefit from their discoveries.
Key points
Facilitating the issuance of court injunctions for patent owners in cases of infringement.
Establishing a presumption that a court should grant a permanent injunction if a patent has been infringed.
Strengthening the protection of inventors' rights, including those of small businesses and universities, against unfair use of their technologies.
