Protecting Intellectual Property for National Security

Please join CSIS on Tuesday, December 3rd at 3:30pm for a discussion with Rep. Nathaniel Moran (R-TX) to examine the role of intellectual property (IP) in innovation and geopolitical competition.

The United States’ economic and national security rests on technological innovation, which is upheld by a system of secure intellectual property rights. Yet, the U.S. has not updated this system for the modern age of intense global technological competition. To cultivate an innovation ecosystem which enables the U.S. to “run faster” in this competition, Congress has proposed legislation to strengthen IP protections, thereby boosting innovation.

This hybrid event will be moderated by Andrei Iancu, CSIS Senior Adviser and former Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
