I yield myself an additional 15 seconds. First-to-file also invites excessive filing and will add to the burden of the USPTO by increasing the examiner's workload. We already have financing problems there. If this amendment is not adopted, it will be worse. I reserve the balance of my time.

I remain skeptical of proposals that break up these companies, mandate a one-size-fits-all data standard, or create a government-run 'public option.'
I believe U.S. citizens would be best served if antitrust continues to retain its traditional focus on promoting consumer welfare and competition in markets.
Successful implementation of the mandate for competition in the antitrust laws encourages innovation, which is the main driver of economic growth.
You know, I think that antitrust law has to continue to be focused on consumer welfare rather than deviating into other problem areas.
