‘a victory for Silicon Valley and the wealthy tech elites’
They are correct. Take a look at the group’s web site.

Notice Google? Inventors will tell you…large firms of their ilk have conspired to destroy the patent system so they can rob and crush their small competitors at will. Their goal is NOT to improve availability of drugs for anyone. Rather, their goal is to legalize theft of their small competitors inventions so they can rob and crush them. These supposed public interest orgs are little more than a front for lobbyists charged with spreading their doctrine of theft. That is precisely what they are doing by lobbying Congress, the White House and the Courts since at least the SCOTUS eBay decision. This group is just another pseudo public interest group funded and controlled by large multinational serial infringers (thieves) to mask their true intent. Don’t believe the lies of thieves.
