"Statement of Senator Cantwell"
"Last year, startups raised 13 percent more from venture capitalists than they did the previous year, so that total was $150 billion."
"We know this is a problem, and we know we need to do something about it."
"I was not a fan of changing this policy, the First to File. I personally think it undervalues the original inventor."
