Poltorak criticizes S.515

Although Poltorak labels S.515 as a compromise between IT and pharma, one notes IT is flexing its muscles in the House to deep six S.515.

It is true that independent inventors and university folks were not really "in" on S.515 dealing and have little to benefit from this "reform."

As to what IT folks are doing in the House, see the previous IPBiz post:
