Read this section in the full bill →

This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.

(a) Repeal of inter partes and post-Grant review Section 6 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (Public Law 112–29), including each amendment made by such section, is repealed and any amendment made by such section to any provision shall be effective as if the provision had not been amended by such section. (b) Repeal of codified titles Chapters 31 and 32 of title 35, United States Code, are repealed. (c) Sense of congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings introduced by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act have harmed the progress of science and the useful arts by subjecting inventors to serial challenges to patents; (2) inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings invalidate patents at an unreasonably high rate; (3) patent rights should be protected from unfair adjudication at the Patent and Trademark Office and duly issued patents should be adjudicated in a judicial proceeding; (4) repealing section 6 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act abolishes inter partes review, post-grant review, and the previously available inter partes reexamination proceedings; and (5) it is the intent of Congress to preserve ex parte reexamination proceedings under chapter 30 of title 35, United States Code.
