Interagency Patent Coordination and Improvement Act of 2025 is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 41.
Latest action on S. 1097: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 41.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies seeking or challenging patents on drugs and biological products. It also changes how Patent Office examiners and Food and Drug Administration staff work together. Patients and the public could feel later effects if different patent decisions change competition, prices, or the pace of new research. The bill does not show how large those effects would be.
Why this matters: Patent examiners may not always have useful information that companies gave to the Food and Drug Administration. This bill could help them decide whether a drug or biologic invention is truly new. Those choices can affect how long a product faces limited competition. The bill could also reduce conflicts between patent filings and FDA records. Its results would depend on how the agencies share information and protect private business data.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
