RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Moran, Nathaniel [R-TX-1]

Introduced

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.

Show full summary
  • 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.

Easier to get court orders in patent cases

If enacted, courts would presume a permanent injunction after a final judgment of patent infringement. The accused infringer could present evidence to overcome that presumption. This could help inventors and small firms who win by stopping copying faster. Companies that infringe could face more orders to halt products or services.
