06/29/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Vermont and the world owe a debt to those who preserved and restored the Lost Mural at Ohavi Zedek synagogue, when so much Jewish art from that period has been lost.

06/23/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy I am grateful that vaccines have been approved for children under the age of five. Parents and children can feel secure knowing the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccines have gone through numerous trials and have been shown to be safe and effective.
06/22/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy The #PTABReformAct restores & improves central pillars of the America Invents Act, which I authored to establish an efficient, low-cost venue for ordinary Americans to challenge patents. In doing so, it further improves the functioning & fairness of the patent system.
06/22/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy I'm proud of everything the America Invents Act has accomplished over the past decade to promote access, innovation & competition in our patent system. The #PTABReformAct will enhance those successes, further securing America's place as the innovation capital of the world.
06/22/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Listening to our esteemed witnesses at the #IP hearing I chaired today reinforced what we already knew: A working PTAB is necessary to ensure our patent system works for all, which is why Congress needs to come together and pass the #PTABReformAct.
06/22/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Today I'll chair an important IP hearing about improving the @USPTO #PTAB, a critical venue for small businesses & innovators to challenge low quality patents w/out breaking the bank. **Tune in at 2:30** to hear how we can improve competition & innovation:
06/21/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy And here is a website link to my remarks commemorating World Refugee Day this year: https://leahy.senate.gov/press/statement-on-commemorating-world-refugee-day-2022
06/21/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy For #WorldRefugeeDay, let us rededicate ourselves to one of our nation's most noble traditions: providing refuge for the persecuted & oppressed. Americans of all walks of life honor this tradition. It is not just something we do as Americans; it is who we are. My remarks:
06/21/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy The WH ann. on landmines is a very welcome step. 28 yrs after Pres. Clinton called for ridding the world of these weapons, the U.S. needs to join the int'l treaty banning anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions, that cause havoc on civilian populations.https://leahy.senate.gov/press/reaction-to-the-white-house-announcement-of-changes-to-us-anti-personnel-landmine-policy
06/20/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy #Juneteenth is an opportunity to remember and to reflect, and also to rededicate ourselves, to honoring, defending and advancing our ideals, to make ours a More Perfect Union.
06/18/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy His seamless blend of wit, wisdom and humor was just what the nation needed, and needs. He is beloved, and he will be missed. - Patrick
06/16/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Gamesmanship should never be incentivized by @uspto & govt. The #PTABReformAct eliminates opportunities for bad actors to exploit the patent system to the detriment of startups, small businesses, & American manufacturers. It therefore incentivizes true innovation & competition.
06/16/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Proud to introduce the Patent Trial and Appeal Board Reform Act along w/ @JohnCornyn & @SenThomTillis . This bipartisan bill will further strong, reliable, and predictable intellectual property rights for all. Our press release on the #PTABReformAct here: https://leahy.senate.gov/press/leahy-cornyn-and-tillis-introduce-bipartisan-bill-to-ensure-the-patent-trial-and-appeal-board-is-a-fair-and-predictable-forum-for-all-parties
06/16/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy It's hard to believe the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act was signed into law over a decade ago. The #PTABReformAct builds on the work of that important law to assure small businesses & innovators they'll have a fair shake at innovating & competing through our patent system.

06/15/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy It is high time Congress starts listening to the voices of those most directly impacted by the gun violence epidemic--the youth of our country & communities of color experiencing gun violence on an everyday basis.
06/15/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Here is a link to the full exchange from this morning:
06/15/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Thank you Chief Williams, of @MjrCitiesChiefs , for highlighting the danger of illegally obtained firearms to our communities.

06/14/2022 Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy Congratulations to Chef Nisachon Morgan of @SaapRestaurant in Randolph. Well deserved!
