Earlier today more than 130 US manufacturing companies sent a joint letter to President Obama detailing their serious concerns about the economic impact that enactment of patent reform legislation would have on the US economy should such reform look anything like what was proposed during the 110th Congress last year. The letter sent to President Obama coordinated by the Manufacturing Alliance on Patent Policy (MAPP), an ad hoc coalition of manufacturing companies. Last month MAPP released an economic analysis that explained that adopting the failed patent reform proposals of 2008 would put at risk 298,000 manufacturing jobs and reduce R&D investment by up to $66 billion.
