Under pressure from other members of his committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) postponed action on his patent reform bill (S. 515). He acknowledged that calculation of damages remains a difficult issue in the bill, but noted that “the time for posturing has ended, and the time for reaching agreement has arrived.”
I’m not sure how the senator plans to force his colleagues to reach agreement on this contentious issue. We’ll have to wait and see.
