The PARTS Act has been reintroduced

On April 22, Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Senators Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) introduced companion versions of the Promoting Automotive Repair, Trade, and Sales (PARTS) Act. If enacted, these bills would eliminate the exclusivity period during which a car company can enforce its U.S. design patents on collision repair parts against alternative suppliers for their manufacturing, testing, marketing and pre-sale distribution of parts. They would also reduce the exclusivity period during which a car company can enforce its U.S. design patents on collision repair parts against alternative supplier for their selling such parts from 14 years to 2.5 years. This is good news for the automotive aftermarket industry, and it is the first time companion bills have been introduced with bi-partisan support.
