Patent Pending: The State of Play of Proposed Patent Legislation in the 114th Congress 

The field of patent law is in a state of flux.  Just four years after the America Invents Act (“AIA”) went into effect, Congress is taking up the issue once again, this time seeking to pass legislation to curb abusive patent litigation.  Already in 2015, the House and Senate Judiciary Committees have introduced, considered, and passed bipartisan patent litigation reform in each chamber.  The House and Senate bills are similar in many respects, and share a general consensus that legislation should deal with abusive litigation through increased transparency, more limited discovery, heightened pleading standards, and “loser pays” fee shifting.
