White House Pushes Forward on Combatting Patent Trolls

Calls on Congress to finish the job

Following up on the President's pledge to combat patent trolls, the White House plans to announce Thursday afternoon additional executive actions and call on Congress "to finish the job."

Details of the new initiatives and a progress report on the actions begun last June will be presented at an event headlined by commerce secretary Penny Pritzker and Gene Sperling, the national economic council director. 

Curbing abusive patent troll practices is one of the few issues in Washington that enjoys broad bipartisan support.
