Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen has joined with 41 other state and territorial attorneys general in expressing support for patent reform legislation now pending in the U.S. Senate. Already approved by the House, the measure is largely aimed at entities referred to by intellectual property lawyers as “patent trolls.”
In a letter to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Commerce Committee, Jepsen and the others express their support for the proposed federal legislation, while at the same time advocating for language that would also allow states to fight patent trolls using their own consumer protection laws.
