Congress Passes Improved Patent Law

It's better, but Bush is implying a veto over the reduced damages.

It's a little bit better, but the problem with IP abuse continues, and will continue until congress treats Patent and copyright as the public interest law^*, we won't have a good law.

It's still got to pass the Senate, though.

^*The section of the constitution that allows congress to create patent and copyright for a "limited time" has as its justification, "to promote the useful arts and sciences", and until the law gets back to this, as opposed being an attempt for entrenched players to use the power of the state to coerce excessive profits out of people, we won't see a good law.
