The first text discusses H.R. 400, a bill introduced by Rep. Howard Coble to reform patent law. The bill aims to improve the efficiency of the Patent and Trademark Office, modernize patent laws, prevent abuse of the patent system, and protect inventors. The text also mentions an amendment exempting small businesses, universities, and independent inventors from certain requirements, which the writer opposes. The second text mentions H.R. 875, a bill introduced by Rep. Henry Hyde to provide for a pay raise and COLA for federal judges. The writer appreciates the support and will keep the sender's thoughts in mind as the bill progresses.
