Right Now

Dr. Coburn, along with Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Sam Brownback (R-KS), wrote the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee urging them to spend more time considering the patent reform bill (S. 1145). 

The senators wrote, "... Many prominent American businesses on the cutting edge of innovation are expressing concerns about the impact of sweeping patent reform.  These concerns merit thoughtful deliberation, and we believe that more hearings will help to inform the committee before we proceed to markup."
