Today, the Administration issued 20 legislative recommendations to Congress, designed to improve intellectual property enforcement. These legislative recommendations exemplify the Administration’s commitment to protect and grow jobs and exports, as well as to safeguard the health and safety of our people.
The theft of American innovation costs jobs and imperils economic growth. This must end. We have recommended legislative changes that will help us ensure that American workers and businesses are protected. Among those changes, we are seeking significantly increased criminal penalties for those selling counterfeits to our military, when counterfeiting and piracy is funding organized criminal activity, for those selling products that can harm or kill American consumers and for those stealing American innovation and transferring it overseas. We are also seeking changes to ensure that our laws can address technological changes, such as illegal streaming, and that law enforcement can share information effectively with businesses.
