Protecting IP Act of 2021

The Protecting IP Act of 2021 would require the U.S. Trade Representative to strictly enforce intellectual property protections established in the 2020 trade agreement between the United States and China. This includes using civil, administrative, and criminal penalties to punish the theft of American trade secrets, patents, and trademarks. For everyday citizens, the bill aims to protect American innovation and jobs by ensuring that U.S. companies and creators are fairly compensated and legally protected when doing business internationally.
