President Donald Trump’s America First economic agenda aims to build a robust and thriving economy for the benefit of all Americans. Revitalizing patents is crucial to achieving this vision. Since the Founding era, reliable and effective patents have been key to growing the United States’ innovation economy. Intellectual property rights are critical today for universities and startups, the classic market disrupters that President Trump has called “little tech.” These relatively small organizations drive innovation in the US and sustain the American dream.

Intellectual property rights are also crucial to US national security. Patents and other protections play a critical role in the race for global technological leadership, particularly in competition with China.

Join Hudson for an expert panel on how reliable and effective patent rights are the key to the America First agenda: growing the US innovation economy, creating jobs, and responding to challenges from global competitors like China.
