John Conyers actually said...

"Congress must continue to ensure that we promote policies that will provide for a strong patent system."

"Our Nation's economic future depends on the ability of inventors to innovate and create, while at the same time being able to efficiently and effectively protect their products."

"One of the most effective steps we can take in responding to abusive patent litigation is making sure poor quality patents are not issued to begin with."

"Clearly, this program works, and we must continue to support it."
