PAE Demand Letter Reform

Twenty one associations led by the 4A's and the industry's SPAN coalition urge Congress to include provisions to address unfair and deceptive patent infringement demand letters.

A consortium of trade associations and public interest organizations applaud bipartisan efforts in Congress to curb abusive patent litigation and strongly urge congressional leaders
to address unfair and deceptive patent infringement demand letters.

The associations communication to congressional leaders notes that "Demand letters are central to the patent troll problem." The coalition members
"urge Congress to enact meaningful legislative solutions to protect businesses of all sizes from these “smash and grab” tactics".
