White House Intellectual Property Report Promotes Increased Protection

The Obama Administration is calling for increased protection of American intellectual property and improved coordination among law enforcement agencies responsible for enforcing IP laws, according to the 2013 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement, released on June 20.

The report calls for increased pressure on foreign trading partners to do more to improve their intellectual property enforcement, encourages the private sector to do more online enforcement on a voluntary basis, and calls on Congress to continue improvement on the legislative front, according to a report from Home Media Magazine.
