Patent reform is expected to be taken to a new level this week with two events.
- A version of the patent reform committee draft is expected to be introduced in the House of Representatives — perhaps as early as Tuesday, June 7, 2005. The House subcommittee on the Courts and Intellectual Property is scheduled to hold a hearing on the legislation on June 9, 2005.
- Also on June 9, 2005, the NAS and AIPLA are hosting a wrap-up conference on patent reform in DC. (Conference schedule).
