Foley Partner Stephen Maebius was quoted in an article that appeared on Reuters on February 25, 2010 titled “Tentative US patent reform pact reached-Sen. Leahy.” Maebius discusses a tentative agreement to reform the nation’s patent system, which would give the patent office the authority to set its own fees and require judges hearing patent infringement cases to play a gatekeeper role in helping identify appropriate damages. He states that the Senate has struck a compromise on key provisions that address certain concerns of the PTO and tries to balance the needs of opposing industry groups.
