Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley made the following statement about the status of patent legislation in the committee.
“Judiciary Committee members on both sides of the aisle have been working in good faith to reach an agreement. It’s a time-consuming and challenging process that will result in a much better product. We’ve made remarkable progress in the last week, and at this time we have a tentative agreement in principle. I appreciate the Chairman taking the time to ensure that all committee members will be able to read and study a manager’s package that will give them adequate time to prepare for consideration of the bill.”
