Dossier Legislative introduced 28-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Medication Affordability and Patent Integrity Act

Key claim: The Medication Affordability and Patent Integrity Act (S2658, 119th Congress) was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.

Abstract

(S2658 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-28): Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 528.

Why this matters

Patent-integrity legislation targets a recurring driver of high U.S. drug prices — the strategic use of patent portfolios to delay generic and biosimilar competition. Placement on the Senate calendar advances the bill past committee, though final terms and any changes to what patients pay depend on floor action and text specifics not yet public.
