Former Trump and Biden officials say weak patent policy hurts US security

Original: Former Trump, Biden officials: America's security depends on startups. Weak patent policy is undermining them

Officials who served under both Donald Trump and Joe Biden have jointly argued that America's national security increasingly depends on innovative startups, and that current patent policy is undermining those companies. Writing in Fortune, they call on policymakers to strengthen patent protections so that young technology firms can attract investment and compete against foreign rivals, framing intellectual property reform as a matter of strategic importance for the United States.

Why now: The unusual bipartisan warning from former officials of rival administrations ties patent reform directly to national security debates.
