What will it take for American innovators to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive global economy?
On September 17th from 12:00 – 1:00pm join CIP at 2237 Rayburn House Office Building for a timely panel discussion exploring how changes to the U.S. patent system over the past two decades have affected America’s ability to compete with China and what policymakers can do to restore a stronger competitive edge.
The conversation will feature Kate Beale of the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, Chris Israel of USIJ, and Coke Morgan Stewart of C4IP with Charles Sauer moderating.
Drawing on deep experience in intellectual property, innovation, and public policy, the panelists will examine where the U.S. patent system may be falling short, what those weaknesses mean for American inventors and businesses, and how a stronger intellectual property framework can encourage investment, accelerate innovation, and help the United States outrun its global competitors.
Whether you follow patent policy closely or simply care about America’s ability to lead in the technologies and industries of the future, this conversation will offer an important look at what’s at stake—and what comes next.
And to fuel the conversation, Chick-fil-A lunch will be served.
We hope you’ll join us for a lively discussion on strengthening American innovation and competitiveness.
