America has consistently been the best place in the world to innovate . . . and it's more important today because we're not a low-cost manufacturing or agricultural economy. So getting applicants and inventors involved in the process is important.

Improving the patent process will take everyone working together — applicants and the USPTO. Better-quality applications mean better examination. We need more focus throughout and closure to the examination process.

Invention promotion and licensing firms that prey upon American's independent inventor community ... will not be tolerated.

In short, Florida and the Orlando area are helping America grow and lead the national and world economies.
