WASHINGTON, DC -- In response to the bipartisan introduction of the "Innovation Act of 2015" to address abusive patent litigation, the following statement can be attributed to NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton:
"NAB applauds House Judiciary Committee Chairman Robert Goodlatte (R-VA) and his colleagues for their introduction of bipartisan legislation that advances the cause of patent reform. Broadcasters support legislative efforts to curb abusive patent practices that harm our nation's economic growth and cost jobs. We look forward to working with Chairman Goodlatte and other congressional leaders to improve our patent system."
