First Look: Bill Officially Named 'Interagency Patent Coordination and Improvement Act of 2025'

This first section of the bill does exactly what it says on the tin: it gives the legislation its official handle. According to Section 1, this act will be known as the "Interagency Patent Coordination and Improvement Act of 2025."

Think of this as the title page – it doesn't lay out the specific rules or changes yet, but it clearly signals the topic. The name points towards efforts involving patents, how different government agencies handle them, and potential improvements to the process. The actual nuts and bolts – what's changing, who it affects, and how – will be detailed in the sections that follow this introduction.
