Patent Reform Coalition ‘Strongly Opposes’ Flake’s Patent Venue Bill

Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) that’s designed to limit the activity of so-called patent trolls.“Unfortunately, this legislation goes well beyond what is needed to ensure that patent cases are not brought in perceived ‘pro-plaintiff’ judicial districts that lack any meaningful connection to the parties and claims involved in the action,” the Coalition for 21st Century Patent Reform said Friday in an email statement.
