Thank you for writing to me regarding S.1145, the Patent Reform Act of 2007. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter.

As you may know, the Senate Judiciary Committee has approved S.1145 and has sent it to the full Senate.

As the Senate considers this legislation, please be assured that I will keep your views in mind and will work with my colleagues to craft a final bill that protects innovation, intellectual property rights, and American jobs.

Again, thank you for writing to me. Please feel free to contact me again about this or other issues of concern to you.
