Weakening U.S. trade protections cements Chinese supply chains WashTimesOpEd
Recent op-eds from the heads of tech industry groups and their Washington lobbyists have decried the U.S. International Trade Commission for doing its job — stopping products that infringe on U.S. patents from entering the country.
The point behind all this posturing is to promote a venal piece of legislation ironically named the “Advancing America’s Interest Act,” or AAIA. Rather than protect America’s interests, the bill would further erode domestic manufacturing and undermine the patent system that has underpinned American innovation since our founding.
Second, it would raise the bar on who could seek an exclusion order. The bill would require that those having a license to intellectual property must join the patent owner as a co-complainant. That would saddle patent owners with having to persuade licensees to take on the financial burden and the risk of alienating other companies by being party to an investigation.
