"I continue to believe that we must pass legislation that will address the scourge of patent trolls which continue to burden businesses across the country."

"Abusive patent litigation has become a problem not only for large corporations, but for small and mid-sized companies as well."

"Abuses of the patent system can undermine confidence in the entire system."
