Excerpt from Patent System and Modern Technology Needs; Meeting the Challenge of the 21st Century: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Technology of the Committee on Science, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, June 6, 1996
Mrs. Morella. Everybody seems to be here for this hearing, so I think I am going to commence in the interest of time. SO the meeting of the Subcommittee on Technology of the Science Commit tee will now come to order.
Today we convene the Subcommittee on Technology for the pur pose of exploring the dramatic changes that are taking place in our manufacturing sector with regard to the pace at which techno logical advancements are conceived, developed, and moved into the marketplace.
As product development and market life cycles for many indus tries have become more and more compressed in time, serious questions are being raised with the ability of our nation's systems of intellectual property protection, particularly the patent system, its ability to cope with the needs of our industrial innovators for cost, effective, timely, and simplified procedures for securing intel lectual property rights to new inventions.
