The bill would amend federal patent law. If a court issues a final judgment finding patent infringement, the patent owner would receive a rebuttable presumption that the court should grant a permanent injunction against the infringing conduct. The presumption could be rebutted.
In a patent infringement case, this change could affect whether a court stops the infringing conduct permanently. The bill does not specify effects on people outside such cases.

The bill's findings say that stronger patent protection supports innovation and that injunctions can help prevent continued or willful infringement. They also state that current practices make injunctions harder to obtain, including for smaller patent owners.
