Description

Paul R. Michel, Former Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, discusses how a series of U.S. Supreme Court decisions and other efforts have been deleterious to a strong patent system, how the U.S. is ceding our global leadership to China and other nations that are strengthening their IP systems instead of weakening them, and bipartisan legislation being championed by IP leaders in Congress that will help revive the American patent system as an engine of growth, global leadership and technological superiority.
