Assessments

The promise is framed as support for preserving and seriously considering the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, not as a requirement to single-handedly enact a final institutional outcome. The cited March 26, 2026 statement shows Darrell Issa publicly argued that PTAB is an important mechanism for faster, cheaper patent-validity review and urged the USPTO director to fully consider and utilize it rather than discard it. That is a direct fulfillment of a support/oversight-style promise during his current federal service, so this counts as delivered in the same term.
