Patent litigation reform

Patent litigation reform involves changes to the legal process of resolving disputes over patent rights. It aims to improve efficiency, reduce costly and lengthy lawsuits, and prevent abusive practices like "patent trolling," where invalid or overly broad patents are used to threaten or sue others. Reforms may include clearer rules for filing lawsuits, establishing quicker resolution procedures, and promoting fairness for patent holders and accused parties. Overall, these changes seek to balance protecting innovation with preventing unjust litigation, fostering a healthier environment for patent rights and technological progress.
