"- First, we need to stop handing out so many patents.
- Second, we need to change the financial incentives of the Patent Office
- Third, we need more public participation.
- Fourth, we need to get the right to go to court.
- And lastly, we need stronger oversight. We need an independent unit that can serve as a public advocate, regularly monitoring the activities of the Patent Office and reporting to Congress."
