Inventors Defense Alliance

We are a nonpartisan advocacy organization working to build support for inventors’ rights, safeguard justice, and protect access to capital.

IP-intensive industries support roughly 63 million US jobs and 41% of US economic output. Weak patent enforcement puts far more than a few lawsuits at risk. https://t.co/ZS3arjlMpa

A tax on third-party litigation funding would bar many small inventors before a jury ever hears the facts. That is exactly the fight Big Tech wants. https://t.co/nwL5r7mcAX

The right to exclude is the fundamental value of a patent. If proven infringement only results in a royalty years later, large companies can treat theft as a cost of doing business. Judge Paul Michel has more: https://t.co/dYGHv3syfz

From national labs to advanced manufacturing plants to health-tech startups, regional innovation hubs depend on enforceable IP. A tax on TPLF makes those local economies easier for corporate giants to raid. https://t.co/cokow55OQO

"Efficient infringement" is a simple strategy: profit from a stolen technology and have expert lawyers steamroll the smaller inventor in court. Third-party litigation funding lets the little guy fight back.

China now leads the US in 37 of 44 critical technologies. Weakening the right to stop proven infringement is no way to compete in AI, quantum computing, advanced medicine, or manufacturing. Judge Paul Michel has more: https://t.co/dYGHv3syfz

The Constitution protects inventors' exclusive right to their discoveries. But a tax on third-party litigation funding would all but nullify that exclusivity. https://t.co/ZS3arjmkeI

When the largest companies know smaller rivals can't afford years of litigation, stealing first and negotiating later becomes a lucrative business model. Strong patent rights are the check on that abuse. https://t.co/Muybv99yuh

The airplane, lightbulb, medical breakthroughs, advanced manufacturing, and so much more are the result of a system that lets inventors protect their work and attract capital. Scott Pullins has more in the Dayton Daily News: https://t.co/vRvEaU1JIa

Google, Apple, Amazon, and Meta can afford years of patent litigation. Most small inventors cannot. Third-party litigation funding evens the playing field.

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

The claim that outside funding is driving a wave of frivolous patent lawsuits isn't supported by data. Patent litigation has declined for more than a decade while patent grants have continued to rise. https://t.co/ydq0DWrBfH

.@USIJorg's Chris Israel wrote for @InsideSourcesDC about how the U.S. patent system is stacked against small inventors.

Nobel-winning research on innovation makes the same point inventors have made for years: growth depends on incentives to take risks, attract capital, and challenge incumbents. Strong patent rights make that cycle possible. https://t.co/Muybv990EJ

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

Patent litigation has declined over the last decade even as patent grants have risen. The claim that outside funding is driving a wave of frivolous patent suits doesn't match the historical trends. https://t.co/ydq0DWrBfH

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

Big Tech's efficient infringement playbook is simple: copy first, drag litigation, and bet the smaller rival settles for almost nothing. Third-party litigation funding gives inventors a chance to break that strategy.

China leads the US in 37 of 44 critical technologies. Weakening the right to stop proven infringement is a dangerous way to compete in a tech race. Judge Paul Michel has more: https://t.co/dYGHv3syfz

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

Patent litigation can cost millions of dollars. Large defendants, with their armies of in-house lawyers, can afford it. Small inventors cannot.

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

Sustained economic growth depends on strong incentives to take risks. Read retired Federal Judge Paul Michel here: https://t.co/Muybv990EJ

[Inventors Defense Alliance @DefendInventors]

Third-party litigation funding ensures patent cases are decided on the merits, rather than by which side can burn more cash. A tax designed to dry up that funding would make efficient infringement even more attractive for Big Tech. https://t.co/nwL5r7lELp

[The Market Institute @MarketInstitute]

Innovation depends on strong patent rights that reward risk-taking, protect small inventors, and let upstarts compete.

The RESTORE Patent Rights Act would strengthen patent enforcement and help keep America’s innovation economy moving forward.
