Conservative groups demand Congress protect intellectual property from patent abuse; Washington Examiner, June 18, 2025

"A collection of 28 conservative groups is urging Republican Congress members to pass the PERA, PREVAIL, and RESTORE acts — all aimed at patent protection — as Chinese influence permeates U.S.intellectual property...

The PREVAIL Act, or Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership, was introduced by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) in the last Congress and aims to “invest in inventors in the United States, maintain the United States as the leading innovation economy in the world, and protect the property rights of the inventors that grow the economy of the United States.”

The PERA Act, or the Patent Eligibility Restoration, was introduced by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) also in the last Congress and aims to restore patent eligibility to several fields. Lastly, the RESTORE Act, or Realizing Engineering, Science, and Technology Opportunities by Restoring Exclusive Patent Rights, works to give patent owners the right to a “rebuttable presumption that the court should grant a permanent injunction with respect to that infringing conduct” if a court finds that there was an infringement of a right secured by patent.

All three acts could work as pro-patent freedom legislation, possibly helping U.S. intellectual property owners fight back against Big Tech and China."
