John Conyers actually said...

"This hearing could be very important with our witnesses telling us what kind of modernization do we want."

"Why can't we fix this problem by improving patent quality and notice of patent ownership? What is the big deal?"

"In my view, so far, the law already provides a balanced approach to fee shifting."

"This Congress can make sure that, going forward, the Patent and Trademark Office retains its fees, all of its fees, to hire more patent examiners."
