‘But when it comes to helping American workers and domestic industries, we need a balanced patent system. We need one that protects real inventions without burdening industry with silliness like patents on PB&J sandwiches or one-touch scanners.’

Notice how they are controlled by some of the world’s largest multinationals. Inventors will tell you they are also some of our largest repeat and perennial infringers. These pseudo public interest groups say and write what they are paid to -just like any big corp lobbyist. Don’t believe the lies of thieves and their paid puppets. Just because they call it reform doesn’t mean it is.
