→Discovery Stay
"Establishes procedures to stay discovery pending a preliminary motion, subject to exceptions for: (1) motions to sever, drop a party, dismiss, or transfer; (2) actions in which a patentee is granted a preliminary injunction to prevent competitive harm; (3) consent of the parties; or (4) certain drug and biological product applications."[https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr9/summary]
By enabling courts to stay discovery, the act targets patent trolls who intend to settle a case quickly and early on by making use of information revealed in discovery. <ref name="innovationactsummary" />
