Services
The ABPA represents the interests of its membership and supports strategic positions that will enhance their business climate. In addition, resources are provided for members to contact their elected officials and government agencies. The legislation amends U.S. design patent law to reduce from 14 years to 2.5 years the time car manufacturers can enforce design patents on collision repair parts against alternative parts suppliers.
