LETTER
CPR Support for S. 3772 to Stop Chinese Courts

COALITION LETTER
Bayh-Dole Coalition Opposes Xtandi March-In

The Bayh-Dole Act did not create a mechanism for the government to set prices on successfully commercialized products. Its explicit, well-understood purpose is to incentivize commercialization of technologies developed from federally funded inventions. The law has been hugely successful.

LETTER
Budget Reconciliation & Inflation

H.R. 5376 will worsen the hidden "tax" of inflation, already reaching the highest level in 30 years.  Inflationary pressures will stem from the climate provisions, adverse effects on our mature domestic energy industry, government price controls that will stifle U.S. innovation and competitiveness, and massive new government spending.

The Restoring America's Leadership in Innovation Act

H.R. 5874, the Restoring America’s Leadership in Innovation Act, would strengthen private property rights in one’s inventions and discoveries.

STATEMENT
Legislation Returns PTAB to "Patent Death Squad"

Sen. Leahy’s "Restoring the American Invents Act" is the exact opposite of what needs to be done in patent policy. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board would be returned to full-strength "patent death squad," the tool of Big Tech for squashing property rights and would-be competitors.

LETTER
Opposition to Estate Tax Hikes in Budget Reconciliation

CPR wrote Ways & Means to express strong opposition to any Death Tax or "double death tax" measures, including changing capital gains treatment at death, in House budget reconciliation package.

STATEMENT
Support for RSC's Countering Communist China Act
