Dallas Principal Scott Hejny provided commentary to the Wolters Kluwer article, "PATENT NEWS: Amended PTAB reform legislation advances in Senate Judiciary Committee by 11-10 vote." The article discusses the recent vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee to approve the Promoting and Respecting Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act, the challenges it might face on the Senate floor, and the changes it would make. Scott says "While compromises can likely be reached with Senator Hawley’s concern about the impact of the PREVAIL Act on drug prices and Senator Cruz’s desire to further protect individual inventors, the bill will face stiff opposition from big tech companies that will strongly oppose changes that will make it more difficult to invalidate patents at the PTAB."
