International Intellectual Property Theft
Legislation has been introduced in the Senate aimed at reducing intellectual property theft internationally.
The legislation, called the International Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement Act of 2008, would require the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to spur countries where intellectual property rights have been violated to take specific steps to stop violations.
It would also provide funds to increase USTR’s capability to work with developing countries to improve intellectual property protection and enforcement, and gives the president powerful enforcement tools to deal with countries that refuse to enforce restrictions on widespread theft of U.S. intellectual property.
