The 'Interagency Patent Coordination and Improvement Act of 2025' Gets a Name

This is a quick one, folks. When a bill gets introduced, the first thing it needs is a name, and that’s exactly what Section 1 of this proposed legislation does. It officially declares that the bill will be known as the "Interagency Patent Coordination and Improvement Act of 2025."

Think of this as the title page for a very long, complex book about patents and government paperwork. This section is purely administrative; it sets the official handle for tracking and referencing the law later. It doesn't actually change anything about patents, your intellectual property, or how any government agency operates—yet. It just gives the entire effort a formal, easy-to-reference identity. The real policy meat, which will detail how the government plans to coordinate patent efforts across different agencies, is still to come in later sections.
