House Judiciary Chair Bob Goodlatte Announces Retirement

By Gene Quinn
November 9, 2017

Earlier today Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), who has been Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and a strong proponent for patent reform, announced that he would be leaving Congress at the end of his current term and not standing for reelection in 2018.

..
With Goodlatte exiting the fate of further patent reform efforts in the House will largely depend upon who ultimately is tapped to wield the Chair’s gavel. Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) can be expected to make an internal push for the gavel, but his handling of the House Oversight Committee during the Obama Administration rubbed many Republicans the wrong way, and he almost lost his reelection campaign in 2016 to retired Marine Colonel Doug Applegate, ultimately prevailing by only 1,600 votes. Notwithstanding, should Issa become the next Chair of the House Judiciary Committee patent reform would almost certainly proceed at a break-neck pace in the House.

-Two of three powerful members of republican leadership (lamar Smith, Bob Goodlatte and Darrell Issa, All are actively participated in the creation of AIA )are going to retired.

-
-"Texas Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX), chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, & Technology, will be retiring from his duties on Capitol Hill and will not seek reelection for another term of service. Smith, a former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and powerful member of the Republican leadership, will leave a void.

..Smith was an original co-sponsor to the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) of 2011 along with Democratic Representative Patrick Leahy (D-VT). That piece of legislation created the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), an Article I executive branch tribunal which is being challenged on constitutional grounds before the U.S. Supreme Court in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC."
