The Senate Judiciary Committee has decided to push forward with the PREVAIL bill, which threatens the efficacy of inter partes review (IPR), crucial in fighting patent trolls.
IPR is less costly and time-consuming than federal district court battles, making it a preferred method for small businesses to challenge invalid patents.
Over 85% of tech-related patent lawsuits are initiated by patent trolls, highlighting the necessity of the IPR system to protect innovators from these entities.
The PREVAIL bill would severely restrict organizations like EFF from filing challenges using IPR, undermining a key tool for defending against bad patents.
