Friday, 6 September 2024, 17:30
The Challenge of China's Intellectual Property Threat
China's aggressive tactics pose a significant threat to U.S. economic security. Rather than undermining the U.S. patent system, the focus should be on strengthening America's intellectual property protections.
The Risks of Weakening Our Patent System
- Undermining the integrity of the patent system threatens American innovation.
- Targeting China's patents could lead to retaliation that harms American inventors.
- Intellectual property rights must remain impartial, ensuring all inventors are protected.
Proposed Reforms for Stronger IP Protection
- Reform the Patent and Trademark Appeals Board to better protect inventors.
- Form alliances with other democracies to challenge state-backed firms.
- Withdraw support for harmful IP waivers that disadvantage U.S. companies.
By implementing these strategies, the U.S. can secure its economic leadership and protect its intellectual property from external threats.
