(Bill ) (Leahy, Specter, Feinstein, Cornyn, Whitehouse, Kaufman) - Adopted
(Bill ) (Kyl) - Defeated, Vote: 4-13

Sweeping patent reform legislation cleared a key United States Senate committee Thursday and is now headed for a vote on the Senate floor after compromises were reached on key sticking points in the bill.
The measure (S 515) is the latest attempt by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (Democrat, Vermont) and other lawmakers to push through changes to the US patent system, and it appears to have wide support across industry sectors.(LINK)
