Senator Lee discusses the issue of patent holders leveraging excessive royalties in standard-essential patents.

The American people OVERWHELMINGLY support this … regardless of political party. Want to make it easy to vote, HARD TO CHEAT. That’s what the House-passed SAVE America Act does.
@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote. Do not assume you have my consent. You do…
So I’m respectfully imploring the people at the Pentagon to reconsider this, not just reconsider but undo it.
