(1) America Invents improves the patent office's efficiency at awarding patents and switches the U.S. from first-to-invent to first-to-file. IMO, both will be a boon to trolls.
(2) The action item is the title of the petition.
(3) Government branches don't operate in silos. When the President demands something from congress and pushes it hard enough, he usually gets something on his desk.
It's a petition, not a bill. I want my President to act, not pretend that he can't do anything about it. He's the one who lit a fire under Congress and called out obstructing members by name to pass healthcare reform. I've relentlessly contacted all my representatives and senators, but congress does nothing without pressure.
