Innovation is what drives success in the high-technology industry. The present crisis of patent quality, baseless patent assertions, and the scourge of patent troll litigation must be remedied so that the patent system works properly and supports innovation. The High Tech Inventors Alliance (HTIA) advocates for balanced reforms in the Patent and Trademark Office, the courts, and Congress that address the root causes of these problems while advancing a patent system that promotes investment in new technologies and American jobs. We collectively invested over $146 billion in research and development last year, hold nearly 350,000 U.S. assets and support tens of millions of jobs created as a result of the innovative goods and services our members provide.
