    How would switching from first-to-file to first-to-invent patents affect smaller inventors who lack resources to document their work compared to large corporations?

  2. 02

    What specific patent challenge proceedings does this bill eliminate, and how might removing those options change dispute resolution costs for patent holders?

  3. 03
