Patent Legislation

From Govtrack.us:

(114th Congressional Session)

  • Total Unique Pieces of Legislation: 101
    • House: 75
      • House Simple: 0
      • House Concurrent: 1 (Same as Senate Concurrent)
    • Senate: 55
      • Senate Simple: 0
      • Senate Concurrent: 1 (Same as House Concurrent)
  • Some pieces of legislation are under considerarion in both chambers. I have included repeats in subsets of "House" and "Senate", but NOT in "Unique Pieces of Legislation."
  • "Simple" Resolutions affect only that particular chamber in which it is passed. Usually deal with more fluffy policy, such as designating a week in honor of small businesses.
  • "Concurrent" Resolutions do not carry the force of law (unlike a joint bill) but must be approved by both chambers in identical form.
