HB 18-16: Patent Reform Act of 2019 (Failed)

[Mr. Reactionary]

Im curious if anyone will mention the negatives or economic impact ...

[Mr. Reactionary]

Skimmed through it Right now will due a full reading Right now But I do generally dislike Patent Abusing. I do understand the inventor's need to have some protection over their time/ideas but the increase of patent abuse is a major problem. I do disagree with the no animal DNA provision.

The only change under this bill from existing Atlasian law is that this bill eliminates all seed patents immediately which is reckless, especially since we already have very anti Monsanto protections in law already.

Is the sponsor aware of those protections?

Seems like that would arguably make this bill unnecessary in that case, unless they can cite other reasons for it.

He struck through them so I assume he knows

Im working on confirming the active number but a quick Google search suggests there are over 17,000 seed patents. Thats a massive cancellation without compensation considering the investment, fees, and reliance on federal promises.
