On May 28, intellectual property (IP) policy advocacy group the Council for Innovation Promotion (C4IP) published the second edition of its Congressional Innovation Scorecard, a detailed assessment of Congressional engagement with legislative efforts on IP protections and related policies. Although this year’s edition highlighted a larger number of pro-IP voices in Congress, a majority of U.S. Senators and Representatives are still earning poor grades indicating a lack of engagement with issues that are critical to the future of America’s innovation economy.
