Abstract :
Congressman McFarlane and his associates have substituted H.R. 10068 for H.R. 9259 and thus changed many of the implications of current patent legislation. Moreover, Council´s staff reliably is informed that no compulsory licensing of patents or similar threat to change patent regulations radically is in the schedule of bills to come up for action during this session of Congress. In fact, proponents of such legislation are no longer in a mood to fight for it.
