What was lobbied
One issue area, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Copyright/Patent/Trademark CPT
I've lobbied in opposition to creating a presumption of irreparable harm in patent litigation under the RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025 (S.708, H.R.1574), against weakening the Patent Trial and Appeal Board through administrative or legislative action (e.g., the PREVAIL Act from last Congress, H.R.4370, S.2220), and against the expansion of patent eligibility in the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act from last Congress (S.2140, H.R.9474). I have also supported disclosure of third-party litigation funding in patent cases (e.g., H.R.1109 - Litigation Transparency Act of 2025).
Foreign entity interest: Samsung Electronics America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Co., which is headquartered in South Korea. Samsung Electronics America has substantial operations and revenue in the U.S. Thus, the company has an interest in U.S. patent law.
