Protecting U.S. Intellectual Property & Innovation Leadership

American innovation leadership rests on a foundation of rewarding breakthroughs through patents and intellectual property protections. The protections provide the incentives that encourage innovators to invest in R&D and create new technologies while also allowing U.S. innovators and companies to lead in setting global technology standards. Now, facing threats to our national security and economic prosperity, it is more important than ever to ensure U.S. technology leadership, protect our vital intellectual property, and set the standards for future critical technologies.
Join us for a discussion on how we can avoid policies that would weaken intellectual property protections, disincentivize investment in R&D, and weaken the ability of U.S. innovators to drive important global technology standards, putting at risk the United States’ tech leadership position.
