  10. Implementing the PRO-IP bill • President Obama has not appointed the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, aka IP Czar • This is a Senate-confirmed post • Government Accountability Office (GAO) study on how the federal government can best protect the IP of manufacturers • GAO has not begun work on this study, but they will reach out to MEMA when they begin work on it

  11. Customs Reauthorization & Trade Enforcement • In January, Rep. Charles Rangel and Rep. Sander Levin introduced the Trade Enforcement Act of 2009 (H.R. 496) • Title III of bill covers enforcement of IP laws at U.S. borders • Enforces U.S. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). The bill creates a Director of IPR Enforcement and an IPR Enforcement advisory committee to advise on IPR enforcement issues; promotes the use of new technology to better fight intellectual property rights (IPR) infringement; creates a “watch list” for suspected bad actors; and prevents Customs from excusing fines assessed for illegal imports. • Increases Staffing, Resources, Training and Coordination. The bill authorizes the support, resources and training that Customs and Immigration and Customs Enforcement need and deserve to carry out their import safety and IPR enforcement responsibilities.

  12. Customs Reauthorization & Trade Enforcement • Senator Max Baucus, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is planning to move Customs Reauthorization legislation in the coming months • Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan serves on the Finance Committee and is interested in being helpful to the supplier industry on counterfeiting

  24. The Need for NASPO • Fraud and terrorism has been enabled by the lack of a secure supply chain to restrict the availability of security materials and technologies. • No structure was available to recognize and certify organizations that met a specified level of security assurance. • Governmental agencies and private industry has recognized that this standard supports their efforts of enhanced security assurance. • One holistic recognized standard versus multiple narrowly defined standards.

  25. NASPO and Current Legislation • Sarbanes Oxley – Risk management requirements for publicly held companies • Bioterrorism Bill – Secure supply issues in pharmaceuticals and food • Real ID Act – Securing our identification documents • Consumer Privacy Act (GLB Act) – Securing personal information in the financial market
