## Summary

**Would restore a presumption that courts should issue permanent injunctions after a final judgment finding patent infringement.** It aims to make injunctive relief the expected remedy to protect patent holders, especially small inventors and startups, from ongoing or predatory copying. - Patent owners and small inventors: A final finding of infringement would presumptively lead to a permanent injunction, making it easier for these owners to stop others from using their inventions. - Accused infringers and defendants: The bill shifts the burden to alleged infringers to rebut the presumption, which could increase the likelihood that disputes end with an injunction instead of only monetary damages. - Courts and legal rules: It amends Section 283 of title 35 to add a "rebuttable presumption" for permanent injunctions, reframing how courts analyze remedies while relying on existing judicial authority.
