WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) – A group of 40 economists and law professors from around the country sent a letter to members of Congress Tuesday, expressing serious concerns with the many “flawed, unreliable or incomplete” patent litigation studies that have become the basis for another possible restructuring of the nation’s patent system. The economists and professors sent their five-page letter to U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee; Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee; U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee.
