This week’s roundup includes articles from high profile news outlets such as Slate and Re/code, as well as a statement from a group of American inventors regarding Leahy's decision to delay patent legislation. Slate looks into the history of patent litigation and in response, applies the “Patent Troll” title to some of America’s most famous inventors including Thomas Edison and Charles Goodyear.

More than a dozen letters of opposition have streamed in this week as the business community weighs in on HR 3309. The letters come from inventors, Higher Education (AAU, ACE, AAMC, APLU, AUTM, COGR), BioTech (BIO), Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), Patent Office Professional Association (POPA), the American Bar Association (ABA), the Innovation Alliance and more.
