Save the Inventor, a coalition of inventors, patent owners, and other patent system stakeholders, today launched a new campaign, “The Power of Patents: 250 Years of American Economic Success.” The six-figure, Washington, D.C.-focused campaign is timed to coincide with celebrations around America’s 250th birthday and highlights the importance of the U.S. patent system in driving America’s exceptional economic success and technological leadership since the nation’s founding.

U.S. Senators Chris Coons (D-Del.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) reintroduced the Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act today. The PREVAIL Act supports American inventors, encourages investments in intellectual property, secures U.S. global technology leadership, and safeguards both economic and national security.

Congressman Nathaniel Moran (R-TX-01) and Congresswoman Madeleine Dean (D-PA-04) reintroduced the Realizing Engineering, Science, and Technology Opportunities by Restoring Exclusive (RESTORE) Patent Rights Act of 2025. Building on efforts from introduction in the 118th Congress, this bipartisan, bicameral legislation aims to restore the presumption that courts will issue injunctions to stop patent infringers, strengthening protections for U.S. inventors, entrepreneurs, universities, and startups.
