Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) is reporting that he has accomplished something in the 112th Congress that he could not do in the 111th: his Patent Reform Bill, S. 23, will be debated on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Senator Leahy says that the bill will be debated when congress returns from its Presidents’ Day hiatus on Feb. 28.

Reid said he plans to bring the bill to the Senate floor after lawmakers return from a week-long recess that started last Friday.
