U.S. Industries, Trade Associations, and Intellectual Property Lawmaking

Authors

Abstract

The article argues that the U.S. trade policymaking process is an open, inclusive system where diverse voices—including NGOs and consumer groups—meaningfully influence outcomes. It rejects the notion that intellectual property (IP) policy is driven solely by corporate interests, asserting instead that strong IP protections benefit both industry and consumers by fostering economic growth.
