House Judiciary Committee ranking member Lamar Smith believes the decision by Chairman John Conyers to address intellectual property in the full committee in the 111th Congress "reflects the importance of these issues to American businesses and workers." "Because of the complex nature of these issues, this move will help all members on the committee better address our nation’s intellectual property needs," he said in a Thursday statement. Adding that IP will remain a top priority for the Judiciary, Smith said: “Given the current state of the economy, Congress must promote American ingenuity and protect our creative ideas."
