  2. Major Issues • Protecting Intellectual Property Rights • Lost Revenue • Billions of $$$

  3. Facts about IP • Rogue websites generate more than 53 billion visits per year • G20 governments and consumers lose $125 billion annually • Digital piracy costs the global economy $75 billion annually • Domestic production and consumption of counterfeit and pirated products costs our economy $215 billion annually • In the UK, research from Harris Interactive in 2009 highlighted that nearly one in four P2P file-sharers (24%) typically spend nothing on music, while finding an overlap of legal and illegal downloading among some file-sharers.

  4. Stakeholders • U.S. Government • USTR • ITC • PTO • U.S. Firms • China • Other Nations

  5. What is being done about IPR? • SOPA • ACTA • Review of Notorious Markets • US brings cases through WTO TRIPs Agreement

  6. Presidential Candidate Views • Pres. Barack Obama “Our single greatest asset is the innovation and the ingenuity and creativity of the American people…” • Mitt Romney “Having tried and failed with “engagement,” the Obama administration now behaves as if the United States has no leverage in dealing with a country that routinely steals our designs, patents, brands, know-how, and technology—collectively, our “intellectual property.” Entirely fake Apple Stores operate openly in Chinese cities. It is hard to be more brazen than that.”

  7. Real Fake

  8. Conclusion • Extremely Broad Issue • Legislations such as the SOPA and PIPA may have a negative domestic impact if passed • Continue to build pressure on China and other nations through WTO to change their culture for violating IPR
