Patent Reform —
Spurring Innovation. Creating Jobs Across America.

The best way to strengthen our economy and create new jobs is to continue America's leadership in innovation and invention. Our patent system promotes the development of new technologies that spur growth and create jobs across the country.

Patent reform is needed so all inventors — and the public — will benefit from new advancements. The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office currently lacks sufficient funding and technical resources to process patent applications in a timely and efficient manner; a backlog of filings — new ideas and inventions — is waiting to be reviewed. This prevents new technologies, and the jobs that would result, from reaching the marketplace and strengthening the economy.

Legislation is needed — and a bipartisan, balanced bill is moving through the Congress to reform the patent system. Learn more about patent reform and its importance to American innovation and jobs. Support patent reform.
