Excerpt from Patent Law Revision, Vol. 2: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Ninety-Second Congress, First Session Section 6 of S. 643 proposes the repeal of section 308 of the Clean Air Act, providing for a compulsory licensing of inventions for compliance with the act. In addition, the call of the chairman indicated that testimony will be received also on adjustment of patent fees as provided in S. 1255, and the granting of a right of priority to inventor certificates as provided in S. 1252. I am grateful to the chairman for his willingness to extend these hearings additionally to permit certain testimony to be offered by witnesses who, to those of us who are concerned with respect to the antitrust implications, the testimony they shall present. In introducing our first witness, it is more of a welcome than an introduction. He certainly is no stranger to this subcommittee, hav ing served as its associate counsel for a 5-year period, and that is just 5 years in a career that has spanned both antitrust and patent law activities.
