September 14, 2011 /
After many years of debate and discussion, Congress has passed a sweeping overhaul of the United States patent laws. On September 8, the United States Senate passed, without amendment, the House of Representatives version of the 2011 patent reform bill (H.R. 1249), known as the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, by a vote of 89-9. President Obama is expected to sign the bill in the very near future.
