Fri Sep 20 13:16:04 UTC 2024: ## Senate Patent Bills Face Opposition, Markup Postponed
**WASHINGTON, D.C.** – Three patent bills spearheaded by Senators Coons and Tillis are facing significant opposition, leading to a postponement of the Senate Judiciary Committee markup from September 19 to September 26.
According to sources, several committee members have voiced concerns regarding the proposed legislation. Senator Whitehouse has confirmed that he and other colleagues have received numerous complaints from constituents about the bills.
With intense lobbying expected, the additional week will likely be used for negotiations and attempts to address the raised concerns. The nature of the opposition and specific details of the bills remain unclear as the full text is available only to Patently-O members.
This development suggests that the passage of these bills will be far from a sure thing, even within the Judiciary Committee.
