InterDigital CEO: Senator Coons’ Stronger Act “Works to Strengthen American Innovation”
June 21 2017 - 12:20PM
William J. Merritt, President and CEO of mobile technology research
and development company InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), today
reacted to the new bipartisan STRONGER Patents Act authored by
Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) and introduced with Senators Tom
Cotton (R- Ark.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Haw.):
“This bill comes at a time when other countries have moved ahead
of the U.S. in terms of intellectual property. Until this year, the
U.S. patent system was ranked first worldwide by the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce; it is now ranked tenth. The STRONGER bill helps pave
the way for America to once again have the top patent system,
improving our global competitiveness and providing a level playing
field for small businesses and startups to compete with large
incumbents. Senator Coons has proven himself to be a leader in
protecting innovation, and we fully support his efforts to
strengthen American industry and competitiveness through this
bill.”
