Pat Leahy Shelves Patent Reform

Vox reports Pat Leahy shelves patent reform "'There has been no agreement on how to combat the scourge of patent trolls,' Leahy said in an emailed statement. 'We have heard repeated concerns that the House-passed bill went beyond the scope of addressing patent trolls, and would have severe unintended consequences on legitimate patent holders who employ thousands of Americans.' 'Because there is not sufficient support behind any comprehensive deal, I am taking the patent bill off the Senate Judiciary Committee agenda,' Leahy said." Sigh.
