Former Trump, Biden officials: America’s security depends on startups. Weak patent policy is undermining them

AI pilots that can fly military aircraft when GPS and communications are jammed. Quantum sensors that can guide ships and aircraft without satellite signals. 3D-printed rocket engines that could make hypersonic weapons faster and less expensive to produce. These next-generation defense technologies are being pioneered not by government laboratories or traditional defense contractors, but by privately financed startups. Yet even as America increasingly bets its security on private-sector innovation, its leaders have made it harder than ever for entrepreneurial companies to bring new technologies to market.
