Good report thanks.
Note, by way of further background, that Congress had never removed the prior special venue statute section for patent suits from the statute books. It is still there. Nor did Congress ever indicate any specific intent to overrule it . Rather a Fed. Cir. panel decision decided that in their view it had been rendered completely inoperative by a change in another [general] venue statute section. Now the pending mandamus argues that the special patent suit venue statute was revived by another such change.

'they contain many provisions that are not narrowly tailored to address the perceived problem of "Patent Trolls." '

That's always been the problem with these patent bills. Infringers whine about problems that seldom if ever exist, or they fictionalize and propose 'reforms' that have far reaching affects and at times have nothing to do with the problems they claim exist. In the end we get the same result, making it harder and more lengthy and expensive to get and enforce patents. For inventors and small entities the patent system is mostly dead. After fighting the PTO for years we find we are unable to enforce the patents we do finally get. Our rights have largely been destroyed.

Don't believe the lies of thieves. just because they call it reform doesn't mean it is.
