A message from Save Our Standards:

Technical standards like 5G and Wi-Fi have the power to transform industries, fuel the economy, and create high-quality jobs. But that only happens if owners of patents essential to standards honor their commitments to license all innovators to use those patents on fair and reasonable terms. A new draft Administration statement restores the balance vital to standards adoption and job creation. Support the Administration to promote American manufacturing and limit product bans on standard-essential patents.

K STREET CONTINUES TO SMASH REVENUE RECORDS: Washington’s biggest lobbying firms reported record lobbying revenues in 2021, shattering records they set only a year ago as a new administration and an all-Democratic Washington worked to enact trillions of dollars in new spending while cracking down on an array of sectors from the tech industry to fossil fuels and pharmaceuticals.

— The passage of yet another coronavirus relief package in the spring and the bipartisan infrastructure bill in the fall, along with the on-again-off-again negotiations on another $1 trillion-plus social spending and climate package , drove new clients and new industries into lobbyists’ arms. In in the process, several of K Street’s top earners posted annual revenue increases in the double digit percentages year over year, as well as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.

— But even as lobbyists are already working to help clients capitalize on the implementation of the infrastructure bill and largely expect Democrats to resume negotiations on a slimmed down Build Back Better Act in early 2022, they were divided over whether such hauls will continue at the same pace with November’s midterms looming.

— “I think the frenetic nature and extraordinary investment in Washington will settle back down to a normal level this year,” Marc Lampkin, the managing partner of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck ’s D.C. office, told PI in an interview. Brownstein pulled ahead as the top-earning firm on K Street in 2021 with $56.3 million in lobbying revenues, a 14 percent increase over 2020’s record $49.3 million. While clients were eager to get in on the Covid relief bill, infrastructure bill or thus-far-failed Build Back Better package — or to beat back increased taxes or other penalties in either of those bills — “by about the middle of the year, I think you're likely to see a lot less activity,” Lampkin said.

— On the other hand, “there’s always a lot of pressure by the majority to deliver bills and legislation and show progress for their members when they're going back for election,” said Loren Monroe, a principal at BGR Group , which saw its fourth quarter lobbying revenues increase by 13 percent between 2020 and 2021. As it pertains to Democrats’ attempts to pass a social spending and climate bill, “I don't think they're just going to go home and give up on it,” he said. “They're going to continue finding something that they can call Build Back Better that will advance their priorities.”

— Monroe, as well as Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld’s Brian Pomper , credited a range of active health care issues with driving a good chunk of their firms’ revenues last year. “Our health team has really just knocked it out of the park,” Monroe said, pointing to Covid-19 but also what companies see as threats to competition. Pomper said Akin Gump expects to see a focus on health care in 2022, “with an intense focus on the reauthorization of user fee programs for the pharmaceutical and medical device industries.”

— Karishma Page, a partner at K&L Gates, acknowledged that lobbyists’ work is often cyclical. But she noted that 2022 has kicked off with holdovers from the previous year’s agenda, from reconciliation to a government funding package. K&L Gates reported $21.2 million in lobbying revenues in 2021, and $5.4 million in the last quarter of the year — a 14 percent spike for the whole year and a nearly 40 percent surge over its Q4 2020 revenues.

— And where Congress gets gridlocked, lobbyists expect the executive branch to step in with a slate of regulatory action and executive orders. Page said her firm is keeping an eye on regulations for implementing the bipartisan infrastructure bill and what — if anything — Democrats are also able to pass in a slimmed-down Build Back Better Act. K&L Gates is also readying for a series of ESG regulations from the SEC, she said.

THE WEED LOBBY STARES INTO THE ABYSS: POLITICO’s Hailey Fuchs and Natalie Fertig have a look today at the conundrum facing the marijuana industry and legalization advocates: “Cannabis policy has never had a rosier outlook on Capitol Hill,” but “nearly one year into this Congress, not one piece of cannabis legislation has been sent to the president's desk. There is growing fear among advocates that the window to act is closing.”

— “Industry lobbyists and legalization advocates say the movement has been stymied by a lack of consensus on the legislative strategy. Liberal advocacy groups are pushing for a comprehensive overhaul of federal cannabis policies with the aim of helping people harmed by criminal enforcement, while industry groups are seeking any piecemeal policy victory that could provide momentum toward more sweeping changes.”

— “‘There are certain people who are willing to forgo any of it if they don’t get all of it,’ said one marijuana lobbyist, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to candidly discuss the industry’s struggles. The lobbyist noted that such a viewpoint is not universally shared, causing a disagreement ‘that’s stunting the legalization effort.’”

— And “even as cannabis has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry, there hasn’t been a corresponding increase in federal lobbying expenditures. In fact, many major cannabis companies and industry groups actually spent less on federal lobbying in 2021 than they did in earlier years. The three leading cannabis industry groups spent less than $900,000 combined during the first three quarters of last year on lobbying, according to disclosure reports. In contrast, the American Bankers Association spent about $7 million during the same time period.”

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT: Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) are introducing a bill that would bar for-profit companies from forming political action committees, Axios’ Alayna Treene and Sophia Cai report. “The ‘Ban Corporate PACs Act’ comes amid heightened scrutiny on Capitol Hill regarding money in politics, including efforts to bar companies from influencing political campaigns and federal elections. It would likely face a court challenge and First Amendment concerns.”

MEANWHILE, IN THE (OTHER) WASHINGTON: “The Washington state Supreme Court has upheld a record $18 million fine against a national grocery industry group for violating state campaign finance laws during a 2013 battle against a food-labeling initiative,” The Seattle Times’ Jim Brunner reports. The court ruled in a 5-4 decision on Thursday that the fine against the Grocery Manufacturers Association — which has since renamed itself the Consumer Brands Association — was not excessive, upholding a lower court ruling.

— “Writing for the court majority, Chief Justice Steven González said the GMA’s efforts to conceal the identity of corporations bankrolling its 2013 campaign ‘struck at the core of open and transparent elections.’” The trade group “spent more than $11 million to defeat Initiative 522, which would have required labeling of genetically modified food products. But the industry group did not initially identify the corporations that wrote big checks to fund the campaign, including Coca-Cola, General Mills and Nestlé.”

Support US Jobs. Stop SEP Abuse.

A new draft policy statement on standard-essential patents (SEPs) committed for licensing on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms was released jointly by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the Department of Justice. The draft statement provides guidance on appropriate remedies in cases involving the use of these patents, and presents an approach to SEPs that strives to balance the interests of patent holders with the broad range of U.S. industries that use standards to protect the future of innovation.

Save Our Standards is a broad-based coalition working to end abusive practices in SEP licensing. We welcome the draft statement and support the Biden Administration for their leadership protecting U.S. competitiveness in charting out this balanced approach. Comments are being accepted through February 4. Support the Biden Administration to stop SEP abuse.
