US Inventor Endorses Dana Rohrabacher for USPTO Director

Rohrabacher's Leadership Promises to Strengthen Intellectual Property Protection and Innovation

WASHINGTON, D.C., WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / February 14, 2025 / US Inventor, the leading organization advocating for the rights of inventors and startups across the nation, is proud to endorse Dana Rohrabacher as the next Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

"The future of America's innovation ecosystem is at a crossroads," said Randy Landreneau, President of US Inventor. "We can either continue to allow Big Tech to dominate and stifle competition, or we can fight back and restore the American Dream for inventors. Dana Rohrabacher is the leader we need to bring fairness back to the patent system and ensure that American innovation remains the world's gold standard."

For more than a century, America led the world in innovation because real inventors could rely on strong patent protections to safeguard their inventions from theft. The strength of our patent system has been a cornerstone of the American Dream, allowing inventors and entrepreneurs to build thriving businesses and contribute to the national economy.

However, that landscape has shifted drastically in recent years. As Big Tech's political influence has grown, so too has their campaign to weaken patent rights for small inventors and startups. This trend became particularly evident when the former head of patent strategy at Google was appointed as USPTO Director, signaling a troubling shift in priorities.

The results of this corporate-backed agenda are clear. A handful of powerful corporations have moved towards monopolization, while the U.S. is increasingly losing its edge in critical technologies. According to recent reports, China now leads in 57 out of 64 of the most critical technologies, threatening America's global competitiveness and our economic future. Meanwhile, Big Tech continues to work behind the scenes to secure allies who will maintain the broken system that has done so much damage to our inventors.

Now, more than ever, America needs a USPTO Director who will stand up to Big Tech and fight for the rights of individual inventors, startups, and small businesses. That's why US Inventor is proud to endorse Dana Rohrabacher, a dedicated advocate for innovation, intellectual property rights, and American entrepreneurship.

Rohrabacher has consistently stood up against the corporate capture of the patent system. His leadership in Congress was marked by a deep understanding of the vital role patents play in fostering technological advancement, supporting job creation, and securing the future of American innovation. As USPTO Director, he will work tirelessly to restore balance to the patent system, empowering inventors and small businesses to thrive once again.

US Inventor calls on all policymakers and industry leaders to support Dana Rohrabacher's appointment as the next USPTO Director, and to join the fight to restore the strength of the American patent system.
