Senate on patent reform - .pdf of PACE-Education Act now available

Last week, a package of bills was introduced in the Senate as the Protecting America’s Competitive Edge (PACE) Act. One of the bills, S.2198 - the PACE-Education Act, contains a “Sense of the Senate” section relating to patent reform. While the section is short on details and similar to prior “sense of Congress” sections we’ve seen from the Senate…it is somewhat interesting for several reasons, not the least of which is the absence of Senator Hatch as a co-sponsor of the bill.

A .pdf of the bill is now available from Promote the Progress here.

Section 321 deals with patent reform (view the text of this section in this prior PTP post).

I am updating the PTP Patent Reform Library to include the PACE-Education Act as well.
