Innovation is a key determinant of the global competitiveness of American businesses. IP companies are those who produce intellectual property (IP) or who apply IP in producing their goods and services. IP companies contribute substantially to U.S. output and employment and generate a large number of well-paying jobs for both white- and blue-collar workers. Based on the latest U.S. offi cial data, we estimate that, in 2008, IP companies in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing sectors employed more than 19 million workers and accounted for 16.3 percent of U.S. employment. In the same year, IP companies generated about $7.7 trillion in gross output, accounting for 33.1 percent of U.S. gross output. The innovation emanating from these companies is a key driver of sustained long-term economic growth and productivity, which are especially important in light of the current sluggish economic recovery and high unemployment.

Over the last several years, South Korea has built a vibrant Internet and communications environment that many countries around the world view as a paragon of broadband technology. The country ranks fifth globally when it comes to broadband access, and the number of users on the peninsula continues to grow. The path Korea took to get there, however, has not been without its bumps and turns. Most notably, the lack of intellectual property (IP) rights protection in Seoul’s broadband build-out early on hampered the growth of IP-intensive industries including the motion picture, recording, business and entertainment software industries as Internet piracy skyrocketed. This has forced the government to revisit its broadband policies in an effort to address copyright infringement and other IP vulnerabilities that were—and still are in some ways—harming Korean creativity, job creation, and economic growth.

Intellectual property (IP) rights and innovation are primary drivers of job creation and American economic growth. Today’s global IP rights system is designed to incentivize individuals, small businesses and large corporations to invest in the advancements that make our lives better. The dollars applied to research and development (R&D) not only lead to novel creations—from life saving medicines and environmental-friendly technologies to first class entertainment such as books, movies, and music—but also stimulate the economy, create jobs, and enhance American competitiveness.
