Gray is not in favor of Goodlatter's Innovation Act:

--
The Patent Reform Act is also a solution in search of a problem. From September 2013 to September 2014, there was a 40 percent reduction in patent-related lawsuits. At a time when patent litigation is down, why would Congress pass a giant bill that would make intellectual property protection more complicated, and therefore, more expensive?
