Intellectual property (IP) is the driving-force behind innovation and is our most valuable trade asset. The value of innovation can be found in every corner of the country. Every state and local community plays a role in helping America grow and remain competitive. Universities, academics, state and local government officials, consumer groups, and the business community must find ways to unite and advance policies that promote IP and support IP rights. Please join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Intellectual Property Center in protecting and promoting the ideas and ingenuity that drive job creation, economic growth and America’s competitiveness by becoming a Friend of IP today!
