Dear Secretary Raimondo,
As you know, European officials will travel to Washington on Friday for a summit on economic cooperation between the United States and the European Union. On behalf of the Council for Innovation Promotion (C4IP), we urge you to raise a critically important issue with your counterparts, specifically, the European Commission’s misguided proposal on standard-essential patents. If finalized, it would undermine the very technological and economic goals that U.S. and EU officials want to achieve.
C4IP is a bipartisan coalition dedicated to promoting strong and effective intellectual property rights that drive innovation, boost economic competitiveness, and improve lives everywhere.
