Proposed U.S. Patent Law Reforms: Is the Desirable Achievable?

Numerous patent reforms have been proposed addressing different stakeholder concerns pertaining to the effective functioning of our patent system. Differing ones are contained in bills that have been passed out of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, but which have not reached the floors of either chamber. In the wake of several recent Supreme Court decisions, yet other proposals are now being advanced, and more are certain to follow. Differences of opinion exist as to which of these proposals are desirable, which are achievable, and whether there is a nexus between the two.
