Trends and Challenges Facing U.S. Business:
- Intellectual property is one of the central public policy pillars for the rapidly changing knowledge-based 21st century economy
- Intellectual property rights provide an increasingly critical legal and policy toolkit for spurring innovation, stimulating the investments needed to develop and market new innovations, creating jobs and disseminating technology and knowledge in socially beneficial ways
