H.R. 1574 — RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025

This section states congressional findings on the importance of patent rights to U.S. competitiveness, the constitutional basis for exclusive rights to inventors, the traditional use of injunctions to enforce them, and the effects of recent court decisions eliminating the presumption of injunctive relief for ongoing or willful infringement. (Thus, such decisions have reduced patent owners' ability to obtain injunctions and incentivized predatory infringement by large companies against individual inventors, universities, startups, and small or medium-sized enterprises.)

This section establishes a rebuttable presumption that a court should grant a permanent injunction to a patent owner if the court enters a final judgment finding infringement of a patent right in a case under title 35, U.S. Code. The existing text authorizing courts to grant injunctions according to principles of equity is redesignated as subsection (a).
