I introduced this measure because I believe it is both good patent policy and sound health care policy. It corrects an inequity in the patent law and will encourage important innovation in medical research, precisely the purpose that Congress sought to accomplish in enacting the Hatch-Waxman Act. By enacting section 202 of S. 1785, we are continuing to promote the basic purpose of Hatch-Waxman, and we are strengthening Hatch-Waxman. It is important to do this so that our Nation will continue to lead the way in medical research, and so that patients will not be denied promising new innovative developments.
