"The joinder provision in the House's Innovation Act would create additional encumbrances for patent-owning innovators."

"I am concerned about patent quality. I want to ensure that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issues the highest quality patents possible."

"Whatever we do, it must work and we must not support a bill that fails to provide an effective deterrent against patent trolls at all stages of the litigation."

"I believe everyone here agrees it is way past time to do something about patent trolls and to combat them."
