Coalition Against Socialized Medicine Applauds the Introduction of the Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act and the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA).

ALEXANDRIA, VA, May 1, 2025 – The Coalition Against Socialized Medicine (CASM), a broad coalition of leading conservative groups, including the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC), Heritage Action, the National Taxpayers Union, Club for Growth, Citizens Against Government Waste, and American Commitment, has issued the following statement on the Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act and the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA).

“The Coalition Against Socialized Medicine (CASM) is thrilled to see the introduction of the Promoting and Respecting Economically Vital American Innovation Leadership (PREVAIL) Act and the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA). As a coalition comprised of conservative, pro-competition organizations, CASM is thankful that our lawmakers are working to preserve the intellectual property (IP) protections that enable a functioning free market and promote American research and development.

“PREVAIL and PERA would work to strengthen and clarify IP rights and reinforce legal protections for innovation. Previous policies have empowered outside actors to disrupt innovation and investment, impeding advancement in the vital healthcare industry. Fortunately, PREVAIL and PERA will help preserve the patent system, restoring momentum to our country’s innovation pipeline.

“A pillar of freedom and innovation, IP protections promote competition while ensuring innovators can safely invest their time and money in new products. Patents are vital to fueling our free-market economy and medical sector, and both bills work to reinforce and uphold IP rights, promising continued innovation and progress.

“We urge Congress to act swiftly to pass the PREVAIL and PERA Acts, prioritizing the values that keep the U.S. the global leader of pharmaceutical innovation.”
