Letter from 21st Century Intellectual Property Coalition to Senate party leaders urges support for United States Patent and Trademark Fee Modernization Act of 2004
Link: IPO, the Intellectual Property Owners Association, has posted the letter from the 21st Century Intellectual Property Coalition to the Senate party leaders supporting the bill (H.R. 1561). The letter is signed by over 100 companies and more than 30 associations.
Its very interesting that this bill is enjoying such broad support, considering that it represents a large increase in patent fees. Apparently, the anti-fee diversion provisions and the promises that USPTO will initiate further reforms once diversion ends are so attractive that a significant fee increase has become secondary.
