I've lobbied in opposition to creating a presumption of irreparable harm in patent litigation under the RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025 (S.708, H.R.1574), against weakening the Patent Trial and Appeal Board through administrative or legislative action (e.g., the PREVAIL Act, H.R.4370, S.2220, S.1553), and against the expansion of patent eligibility in the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (S.2140, H.R.9474, S.1546). I have also supported disclosure of third-party litigation funding (e.g., H.R.1109 and S.3826). I have also supported limitations on foreign entities that represent a national security risk obtaining and enforcing U.S. patents (e.g., H.R.9142, the Prohibiting Adversarial Patents Act).
