C4IP Congressional Innovation Scorecard
2026 Interactive Scorecard
C4IP launched the Congressional Innovation Scorecard in 2024 to assess and rate Congressional support for America’s IP system. The Scorecard measures Congress and its members in three dimensions: political, legislative, and policy activity. It weighs congressional activity across four congresses: The 119th (current), 118th, 117th, and 116th. You can learn more about the Scorecard methodology here.
Correction Notice (May 19, 2026): The original version of this report inadvertently omitted six IP-related bills from the initial analysis due to a data processing issue. This omission has been resolved and, as a result, Senator Richard Blumenthal and Representative Gregory Murphy’s grades have been updated to ‘C-’ and ‘B,’ respectively. All related data, calculations, and references throughout the report have been revised to reflect these updates.
