Washington To Celebrate World IP Day
From CongressDaily's AM edition on Monday:
A World Intellectual Property Day policy forum is slated for Thursday, hosted by the Institute for Policy Innovation. Various legislative proposals for emboldening IP enforcement in the United States and abroad are pending in the House and Senate. The IPI summit will feature Motion Picture Association of America CEO Dan Glickman; Recording Industry Association of America CEO Mitch Bainwol; Steve Largent, head of the wireless association CTIA; former Commerce Department undersecretary Robert Cresanti; and World Intellectual Property Organization adviser Lien Verbauwhede Koglin.
George Washington University Law School’s Creative and Innovative Economy Center will also commemorate World IP Day with a panel discussion on Monday evening. Acclaimed Indian filmmaker Bobby Bedi, whose country loses more than an estimated $4 billion per year to piracy, will discuss the impact of IP infringement.
Reps. Tom Feeney, R-Fla., and Robert Wexler, D-Fla., who co-chair the Congressional Caucus on Intellectual Property Promotion and Piracy Prevention, and Congressional Entertainment Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., are expected to attend.
