Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2024 amends federal patent law to establish a rebuttable presumption that courts should grant permanent injunctions when they find patent infringement. Under current law, courts have discretion to deny injunctions even after finding infringement; this bill would shift the default to presumptively grant injunctions unless the defendant rebuts the presumption with equitable defenses. The bill's sponsors argue this restores historical patent practice and protects inventors, particularly smaller entities, from what they characterize as predatory infringement by large companies.
