Patents Depend on Quality

On the day of the hearing on patent quality enhancement (April 5, 2006), Reps. Howard Berman (D-California) and Rick Boucher (D-Virginia) introduced the Patents Depend on Quality Act of 2006 (PDQ Act), a bill designed to assist in the upgrade of the patent process, according to
a post on Red Herring.

Don't look for it to go anywhere, with Lamar Smith and Orrin Hatch already working on bills.
