Copyrights and Patents
Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power:
"to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing copyright and patent protection for authors and inventors.”
We oppose the unconstitutional transfer of authority over copyright and patent policy from Congress to other agencies, domestic or foreign. We favor more vigorous efforts in both domestic and foreign markets to protect the interests of owners in their copyrights and patents.
