2000年10月3日，美国国会两位众议员Howard Berman和Rick Boucher就向众议院提出一项编号为H.R.5364的法案《商业方法专利改进法》。该法案旨在通过限制美国专利商标局对商业方法专利的授权，以对专利商标局给予商业方法垄断性的授权制度做出改进。欧洲专利局对授予商业方法专利的热情并不高，如2000年年底的《欧洲专利公约》外交会议就没有将商业方法专利问题列入议事日程。

简介编辑本段回目录
Frederick Carlyle "Rick" Boucher (pronounced /buːˈʃeɪ/; born August 1, 1946) is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives representing Virginia's 9th congressional district (map).
Boucher is a native of Abingdon, Virginia, where he currently lives. He earned his BA from Roanoke College and his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law. He has practiced law on Wall Street in New York and in Virginia. Prior to his election to Congress, he served for seven years as a member of the Senate of Virginia.
Long considered "married to his job", Boucher announced his engagement at age 59 to Amy Hauslohner, an editor of the Galax Gazette in Galax, Virginia. Said Boucher of the engagement "We have decided since I will be 60 in August and she just turned 50 last week, we probably are mature enough to handle marriage." Boucher and Houslohner were married on June 3, 2006.
He was first elected to Congress in 1982, defeating Republican candidate William (Bill) Wampler. He then went on to defeat Virginia House of Delegates member Jefferson Stafford, of Pearisburg, Giles County in 1984. As of 2009, Boucher is serving his 14th term in the U.S. House of Representatives. Running unopposed, the Democrat won re-election in November 2008. He sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee , the Judiciary Committee, chairs the United States House Energy Subcommittee on Communications, Technology and the Internet and has been an assistant whip since 1985.
Boucher has been active on Internet-related legislation, including a bill that became law in 1993 authorizing electronic commerce by permitting for the first time the transmission of commercial messages over the Internet. His proposals to promote competition in the cable and local telephone industries contributed to the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Boucher originated the House Internet Caucus and is currently its co-chairman. He also created the Digital Media Consumer's Rights Act (DMCRA) legislation and co-authored the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. He was named Politician of the Year for 2006 by Library Journal, largely due to his efforts to protect the fair use doctrine and expand Internet technologies to rural areas.
Critics have accused Boucher of being a liberal out of touch with a conservative leaning district. Boucher voted in favor of the Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act, as well as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In contrast, Boucher has received a rating of "A+" from the National Rifle Association and is one of the 81 House Democrats who voted in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq.
Rick Boucher is a strong opponent of tax patents and has introduced bills to either have them banned or to exempt tax attorneys and tax payers from liability in infringing them.
In June 2009, Boucher voted in favor of the American Clean Energy and Security Act which established a cap-and-trade system. Boucher was chairman of the energy sub-committee of the previous Congress which first drafted the legislation, and was deemed to be instrumental in the bills development. Boucher opened his pre-vote remarks on the bill by saying that he was in "strong support of the bill."
In November 2009, Boucher, along with 39 other Democratic members of the House, voted against the Affordable Health Care for America Act. Also, on March 21, 2010, Boucher voted against the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which the House passed nonetheless.
Rick Boucher endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination for president, while his district went solidly for Hillary Clinton.
According to Congress.org, Rick Boucher is the 10th most powerful member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
2002年：美一议员寻求修改DMCA条款编辑本段回目录
美国维吉尼亚州众议员Rick Boucher周一表示，打算将修改数字千禧年版权法案（DMCA）的条款，使一般消费者可以合法地自行拷贝影视内容。
Boucher说，他计划提案一个法案，以去除DMCA在1998年加入的第1201条“规避条款”。该条款禁止一般消费者将其购买的音乐商品，制作个人的备份拷贝或其他用途。该条款曾让一名俄国程序设计师，因破坏Adobe电子书阅读软件的防盗版措施而入狱。
Boucher表示，将修改DMCA第1201条，让民众得以突破防盗技术的限制，但这并不包括盗版行为。
上周，Boucher曾写了一封长信给唱片公司主管，质疑CD上的防盗技术，是否侵犯了消费者在《音乐产品家庭录制法案》（Audio Home Recording Act, AHRA）所保障的合法使用权。
CD刻录的风气猖獗，唱片及电影公司担心影响CD销量，纷纷寻求防拷贝措施。华纳去年12月在美国首先公开发行加入版权保护技术的电影“Fast and the Furious”的VCD。而Boucher即认为这是违反AHRA的。
AHRA近来一直是著作权争议的焦点，不过目前尚未成为具影响力的论辩角色。
Boucher表示，法案提出的时间未定，还在寻求支持。不过他指出，由于DMCA 1201条是网上盗版中最重要的角色，预料这个法案将会引发激烈反对。
美众议员拟法案 规范在线广告收集用户信息行为编辑本段回目录
赛迪网2009年9月8日消息，美国众议院关于通讯、技术和互联网的能源和商务小组委员会主席Rick Boucher希望制定一个法案管理互联网广告。这个法案将包含如下内容：
·收集访问者信息或者利用外部公司做这种事情以便发布有针对性的广告的网站应该披露他们收集了什么信息。这些网站必须详细说明如何使用这些信息、这些信息保留多长时间、是否与第三方共享。应该要求这些网站允许访问者选择“决定不参加”不让网站收集他的数据。
·与外部广告网络共享用户信息的网站在收集数据之前应该得到用户的批准。也就是说，消费者必须选择“决定参加”。但是，这些网站要符合“选择不参加”的要求以满足某些条件。例如，一个网站应该允许用户评估、修改和删除创建的有关他们的情况介绍。或者保证广告包含一些链接通知用户收集了什么信息并且提供一个机会选择不参加这种有针对性的广告活动。
·处理医疗和财务数据、性倾向、社会安全号码和其它ID号码灯敏感数据的网站要提供“决定参加”的选择。为了商业目的与第三方共享消费者信息的网站也适合这个规定。
