Its back: Anti-fee diversion officially back in Congress

Senator Norm Colemen officially introduced the COMPETE Act (S. 1020) last week, putting Patent and Trademark Office fee diversion back on the agenda.

The Act is not truly a patent reform bill, but the fee diversion issue (and possibly this bill specifically) will likely be a part of the reform debate in the future.

See this post on Promote the Progress for more information on the COMPETE Act and its relationship to the patent reform efforts currently underway.
