Bush proposed his fee changes in 2001 or 2002, in which this committee fully rejected that and sent them back to do their homework. That would likely be what would happen again If we cannot find a way to ensure that the America Invents Act is fully implemented as part of any reauthorization of fee setting. With that, I'd like to recognize the ranking member for his opening statement. Thank you Chairman Issa, and welcome to this hearing all who are here, especially our panelists. (08:34–08:48)
