Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) is an essential part of the bedrock of American innovation and our economy. Our entrepreneurs, business owners, and the general public are best served by an economy that fosters and enhances our global competitive advantage, while protecting intellectual property rights and safeguarding creativity. Reforming our broken patent system is a top priority of mine from my seat on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Courts, and the Internet.
