US Chamber: Tougher IP Laws to Bring More Green Jobs | Clean Skies: "For the past year, the Obama administration has said green job creation hinges on the development of clean energy technology. But the US Chamber of Commerce said today that the clean energy technology sector needs intellectual property protection first.
Today, the Chamber released its 2010 IP agenda. In it, the Chamber's Global and Intellectual Property Center urged the administration and Congress to adopt tougher IP protections in the US and abroad in 24 sectors including energy. And the Chamber wants the administration to put forth a national IP jobs plan by the summer.
'We view this as an urgent priority,' for job creation and the economy, David Hirschmann, president and CEO of the Global IP Center said during a roundtable discussion at the Chamber on Thursday.
The agenda comes on the heels of a major announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder this week to create an IP task force that will work with various agencies to help identify and combat IP theft in the U.S. and abroad."
