Third-party litigation funding helps patent owners pursue legitimate claims against deep-pocketed infringers. Taxing it would tilt the legal system even further toward corporate behemoths. inventorsdefense.org/wp-content/upl…

Critics claim litigation funding invites frivolous lawsuits. But investors only make money if the case succeeds, which gives them every reason to back strong claims. ibtimes.com/dont-let-big-b…

Mandatory disclosure of litigation funders is not neutral in the way proponents tend to argue. It would give defendants insight into an inventor's resources and let them tailor their strategy to wear the other side down. realclearpolicy.com/articles/2025/…

"Big business lobbyists are winning an obscure -- but hugely consequential -- battle over the future of the judicial system. If these lobbyists continue to get their way, small businesses and their workers will be the biggest losers."

Patent rights mean little if large corporations can challenge the same patent again and again until a startup runs out of money. Read inventor Eb Bright's newest op-ed on how to fix the PTAB: inventorsdefense.org/wp-content/upl…

Strong patent rights are essential to American innovation, economic growth, and technological leadership. Undermining inventors' ability to enforce those rights would only benefit infringers and weaken the U.S. in the global tech race. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

Innovation depends on more than great ideas. It also depends on a legal system where startups and small businesses have legitimate means to enforce their patents. Read more from @ProfKOsenga: thewellnews.com/opinions/a-mis…

Recent @uspto proposals show a commitment to a fairer, more balanced PTAB. Inventors need a system that rewards innovation, not infringement. Read Eb Bright's new piece on PTAB reform in @Law360: law360.com/articles/24490…

Today, as @uspto Director John Squires testifies before the House Judiciary Committee, lawmakers have a unique opportunity to focus the conversation on PTAB reform. For too long, patents have been weakened by serial, duplicative challenges that drain inventors' resources. Read our public comment below: inventorsdefense.org/wp-content/upl…

Third-party litigation funding helps ensure patent disputes are decided on the merits -- not which side has deeper pockets. Taxing that support would make it harder for startups and small businesses to defend their inventions in court. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

Patent rights do more than protect inventors. They create the incentives for research, risk-taking, investment, and reinvestment that fuel long-term economic growth. Undermining these rights puts American growth at risk. deseret.com/opinion/2025/1…

Big Tech shouldn't get a government-assisted advantage to steal from small inventors. Policies that weaken third-party litigation funding only make it easier for powerful corporations to infringe without consequences. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

@DefendInventors You are being too kind. While it is true they "risk" closing the courthouse doors, it's worth pointing out that such risk is a feature, not a bug of these efforts. #Inaccesstojustice #Justicetax #LFA #Litigationfinance #Litigationfunding #Legalfinance

Policy makers often claim that restrictions on litigation funding are about "transparency" or national security. In reality, they risk closing the courthouse doors to startups that depend on outside capital to enforce their patents. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

@LCJReform and @LegalReform are urging the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules to adopt a federal rule requiring disclosure of third-party litigation funding agreements. Read more from @LitigationJ here: shorturl.at/1Je38

@DefendInventors If we don’t stand up to efficient infringement, don’t complain when we get efficient #pricefixing. #Antitrust #Cartel #Litigation #Litigationfinance #Litigationfunding #Justicetax #Inaccesstojustice

Efficient infringement thrives when startups can't afford to defend their patents. Litigation funding disrupts that strategy by giving small inventors the resources to stand up to deep-pocketed corporations. news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchange…

Patent litigation can cost millions of dollars -- far beyond the reach of most startups. That's why inventors rely on third-party litigation funding to defend their inventions in court. A tax on that lifeline would help deep-pocketed infringers. Read more from Stone Washington. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

Some policymakers argue that foreign governments could exploit litigation funding to access sensitive business information. But courts already use protective orders and confidentiality rules that strictly limit who can see trade secrets in a case.

If policymakers are serious about supporting innovation, they shouldn't target the funding mechanisms that allow startups to stand up to powerful patent infringers. Read more in the Daily Caller: dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…

When patent enforcement becomes too costly or complicated, corporate giants gain the upper hand. Policy makers must think carefully before advancing measures that disadvantage small inventors. realclearpolicy.com/articles/2025/…

Third-party litigation funding is a lifeline to small innovators facing serial patent infringers in Big Tech and beyond. Taxing this crucial mechanism would let massive corporations steamroll small inventors. dailycaller.com/2026/02/24/big…
