Patrick Leahy actually said...

"Taken together with other legislation by Senators Cornyn and Grassley and Senator Hatch, we believe we have the tools for the comprehensive bill that we need to address this problem."

"I have heard from an increasing number of businesses in Vermont and across the country that are being targeted by so-called patent trolls."

"We are encouraged by the legislation introduced by Senators Leahy and Lee which will increase transparency by shedding light on the patent marketplace."

"No issue is more important to the quality of patents overall and to solving the issues that come before us today than solving that problem."
