"... patent practitioners and applicants will watch with interest to see whether the Republican-controlled Judiciary Committee can introduce and pass patent reform legislation ..."

I won't hold my breath waiting for comprehensive patent reform. Fortunately, repeated patent reform failure has reportedly shown our members of Congress the futility of pursuing such "comprehensive" reform, and legislators have jettisoned this goal in favor of a more incremental approach. That being the case, perhaps we can reasonably anticipate the passage of individual bills that separately address specific failings of the patent system: e.g., fee diversion, USPTO fee setting authority, false marking damages, etc. At this point, I'll take what I can get.
