Harold Wegner, a partner in Foley’s Washington, D.C. office, was quoted in the July 25, 2007 issue of Intellectual Property Watch in an article titled, “US Patent Reform Advances But Outcome, Global Impact Uncertain.” Wegner was quoted as saying that there is no chance the bill will pass unrevised before the election, in fact no patent legislation of this magnitude will.
