Petition request

That the House of Representatives make patent protection more accessible.

Petition reason

I believe that only those who are wealthy are able to benefit from their inventions, and that people born with lesser opportunities may fear that their intellectual property could be stolen when sharing their inventions with the goal of finding funding.
