RESOLVED, That IPO favors a patent system that: (1) grants high quality, valid, and enforceable patents, (2) achieves the earliest possible clarification of the scope of protection for patent owners and the areas of freedom of action for the public, and (3) operates in the most cost-effective manner possible, including in the determination of patent rights in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the enforcement of those rights in the courts.
