EU Turns Its Back on Intellectual-Property Theft

EU Turns Its Back on Intellectual-Property Theft

When nations such as Brazil, China and India steal our intellectual property (IP), they are stealing from American companies, their employees and from the American people.

This should become an issue vital to every American. Our economy suffers, our employment picture suffers and our prestige suffers when our patents are stolen or ignored.

So I was astonished and disappointed to see the European Parliament reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), a multinational treaty designed to better protect IP around the world by ...

Small Business Gets Punished by Supreme Court Ruling

Small Business Gets Punished by Supreme Court Ruling

For the nation’s job creators, this ruling is devastating news for business and worse news for the 25 million Americans unemployed or under-employed.

Do Something to Send a Message to the Do-Nothing Congress

Do Something to Send a Message to the Do-Nothing Congress

A Washington Post column recently suggested that “to call this 112th Congress a do-nothing Congress would be an insult — to the real Do-Nothing Congress of 1947-48. That Congress passed 908 laws.

To date, this one has passed 106 public laws. Even if they triple that output in the rest of 2012 — not a terribly likely proposition — they will still be in last place going back at least 40 years.”

Most people agree that the 112th Congress is the ...
