Chair (Chairman Koontz) called the hearing to order and said the subcommittee will examine the Restore Patent Rights Act, a one‑sentence bill cosponsored with Senator Cotton that would restore a presumption that patent owners receive injunctions after showing valid infringement; he framed the bill as reversing the 2006 eBay v. MercExchange effect and protecting inventors.

Speakers:

Senate Judiciary intellectual property subcommittee hearing on the Restore Patent Rights Act featured partisan but collegial testimony for and against a one‑sentence bill that would create a rebuttable presumption in favor of injunctive relief for patent holders; witnesses disputed empirical effects of eBay and whether the bill would help small inventors or enrich patent assertion entities.
