Scope and Contents

The first text discusses H.R. 400, a bill introduced by Representative Howard Coble to reform patent law.

The document also mentions an amendment exempting small businesses, universities, and independent inventors from certain requirements, which the writer opposes. The second text mentions H.R. 875, a bill introduced by Representative Henry Hyde to provide for a pay raise and COLA for federal judges. The writer appreciates the support and will keep the sender's thoughts in mind as the bill progresses.
