Global intellectual property theft is a serious threat to U.S. interests, the White House reported Monday. The Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC) sent Congress a joint strategic plan (here) setting IP rights enforcement as a national priority for three years. It "represents a ‘call for action’ for all nations -- as well as international organizations, industry, educational institutions, and consumer protection and public interest groups -- to provide forward-thinking leadership and a collaborative approach to combatting illicit IP-based activities,” Coordinator Daniel Marti wrote.
