On the recordDecember 4, 2013
We hear over and over again that this is about patent trolls and hinting that there are illegitimate patents that we are talking about. We are talking about legitimate patents; and the patent troll, let us just note, who is he going against supposedly, it is multinational mega--mega--corporations that routinely infringe on the little guy. Yet Marcy Kaptur, while trying to protect the rights of the little guy against these giant corporations--like Google--instead, we have not permitted her amendment to come forward. This is the greatest attack, this bill, on the small inventor that I have ever seen in 25 years. I ask support for the rule, but oppose the bill itself.
