![["In this text, Dick Armey discusses the issues plaguing the patent system in the United States, such as bureaucratic red tape and \"submarine\" patents. He introduces H.R. 400, the 21st Century Patent System Improvement Act, which aims to address these problems by converting the Patent and Trademark Office into an independent government corporation, deterring invention promoters, and requiring patent applications to be published 18 months after filing. The bill also provides protections for inventors, such as the right to royalties from the publication date and the opportunity to delay publication. Armey expresses his concern for protecting inventors and small entities, as well as maintaining America's competitiveness in international markets."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Richard%20K.%20Dick%20Armey%20Collection/CAC_CC_002_6_36_14_0000-Correspondence,%20Judiciary,%201993-2001/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_002_6_36_14_0068_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing Concerns About Patent Law Reform: H.R. 400 and the 21st Century Patent System Improvement Act")
