ITC Launches Investigation of Economic Effects of IPR Infringement in China
The International Trade Commission announced May 5 that it has launched the first of two investigations into the effect on the U.S. economy and U.S. jobs of intellectual property rights infringement in China.
The first report will describe the principal types of reported IPR infringement in China, describe China’s indigenous innovation policies (under which China reportedly promotes the technologies and brands of Chinese companies over those of non-Chinese companies) and outline analytical frameworks for determining the quantitative effects of the infringement and indigenous innovation policies on the U.S. economy as a whole and on sectors of the U.S. economy, including lost jobs. The ITC expects to deliver the first report to the Senate Finance Committee by Nov. 19.
The second report will focus on the effects of intellectual property infringement in China and that country’s indigenous innovation policies on the U.S. economy. It will build on the first report by describing the size and scope of reported IPR infringement in China; providing a quantitative analysis of the effect of reported IPR infringement in China on the U.S. economy and U.S. jobs (including on a sectoral basis), as well as potential effects on sales, profits, royalties and license fees of U.S. firms globally, to the extent possible; and discussing and quantifying the actual, potential and reported effects of China’s indigenous innovation policies on the U.S. economy and U.S. jobs. The ITC expects to deliver the second report by May 2, 2011.
The ITC will hold a public hearing in connection with these two investigations on June 15. Requests to appear at the hearing should be filed no later than June 1.
The ITC also welcomes written submissions for the record of the first investigation no later than July 9. Information concerning written submissions for the second investigation will be provided when that investigation is initiated.
