AIPLA Submits Letter in Support of the Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act
Written November 9, 2023
Arlington, VA. November 7, 2023 - The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) submitted a letter to the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property in support of S. 2220, the “Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership Act” (PREVAIL Act), as introduced in the 118th Congress.
The PREVAIL Act would implement reforms to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to improve efficiency in patent litigation and promote fair treatment for inventors whose patents are challenged at the PTAB. In AIPLA’s view, the PREVAIL Act as introduced in both the Senate and the House of Representatives will help to ensure that post grant proceedings before the USPTO operate as intended—as an efficient alternative to district court challenges that balance the interests of patent owners, accused infringers, and the public, and that avoid abuses of judicial and agency resources.
