The House Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet plans a hearing Thursday on the Patent and Trademark Office and the America Invents Act (AIA), said its website (http://1.usa.gov/1t4Yfl8). Congress has been trying to update AIA, despite its having become law fewer than three years ago. However, the Innovation Act (HR-3309) stalled in the Senate after passing the House, and is not seen likely to move this Congress (CD May 23 p3). Thursday’s hearing will be at 3 p.m. in 2141 Rayburn. Witnesses weren’t announced.
