RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025
Introduced Feb 25, 2025 by Sen. Christopher A. Coons
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill establishes a rebuttable presumption for injunctive relief in patent infringement cases. Specifically, if a court enters a final judgment finding infringement of a right secured by patent, the patent owner shall be entitled to a rebuttable presumption that the court should grant a permanent injunction with respect to that infringing conduct.
(In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court held in eBay v. MercExchange that patent holders do not have an automatic right to a permanent injunction in a patent infringement case.)

No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
