"I have worked so hard over the years to finally be able to pass the Leahy-Smith bill, one of the great bipartisan efforts of both the Senate and the House."

"I have introduced the STRONG Patents Act of 2015, along with my colleagues, Senators Durbin and Hirono."

"I am hopeful that this year we will succeed in uniting these reforms and that we will finally pass legislation so desperately needed by American businesses, both big and small."

"I believe that the compromise Senator Cornyn and I came up with remains a positive framework for bipartisan cooperation."
