From @RSI Series on patent enforcement at the ITC-- "But the overarching problem may be that the ITC has become a general patent-enforcement venue instead of treating patent enforcement as an adjunct to its primary trade policy mission." Read more...

A good summary by @PatentJosh @PatentProgress of the Advancing America's Interest Act introduced by @RepDavid and @RepDonBeyer.

"a commonsense solution to a problem that has been a consistent drag on innovation"

Former @SenatorLeahy provides a little legislative history lesson: "I can say with absolute certainty that the proposed rules directly conflict with the legislation on a variety of matters, especially on provisions that limit access to the PTAB." https://t.co/I65AEWll5u

Important new legislation form @RepDavid and @RepDonBeyer. 👇👇👇👇👇

[Rep. David Schweikert @RepDavid]

Too often, the International Trade Commission is misused by patent trolls looking to stifle competition. I’m proud to introduce bipartisan legislation to reform the ITC and protect consumers to ensure America can be a leader in advancing innovation.

"Patent trolling at the USITC is a serious problem that calls for increasing oversight of how the agency operates."

[ITC Modernization Alliance @ITCModAlliance]

"Not only do they use these broad patents to sue businesses in traditional courts, these entities are now using the USITC as yet another venue where they can extract ransoms from their victims."

A good primer on litigation funding - including at the ITC - from Jonathan Stroud @unifiedpatents. Transparency of the real parties in patent litigation is essential to a properly operating system that serves the public interest. #ITCRefrom https://t.co/QMSgQaw0nF

Read the startup case for reforming the ITC from @mdmcgeary of @Allied4Startups #ITCReform

[Michael McGeary @mdmcgeary]

Exclusion orders represent the worst excesses of thwarting innovation. Let’s support startups, build American competitiveness and help entrepreneurs build instead. My column in the ⁦@DeBusinessTimes⁩ for ⁦@Allied4Startups⁩ https://t.co/dqPgn3fHAz

"The ITC should consider adopting rules requiring the disclosure of third-party funders....It would also benefit the public by showing who uses the agency’s resources and for what purposes." A common sense transparency idea from @RSI's ITC Policy Project. https://t.co/z0Y7FOsRVf

[ITC Modernization Alliance @ITCModAlliance]

Patent litigation funding and the possibility of foreign funders manipulating patent laws is particularly problematic - not to mention ironic - at the International Trade Commission. More transparency is needed. Thanks @RepGoodlatte & @PatentProgress.
