Geistiges Eigentum

Der Schutz des geistigen Eigentums (Intellectual Property, IP) fördert Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E), die Innovation vorantreiben. 19,6 Prozent aller inländischen F&E-Aktivitäten in den USA entfallen auf Software-Entwicklungen. Ordnungsgemäße IP-Schutz-Regelungen sind entscheidend für die Aufrechterhaltung dieser Investition. BSA unterstützt:

Patentschutz für alle Erfindungen auf technologieneutraler Basis.
Urheberrechtsgesetze, die die Rechte von Urhebern, Vermittlern und Nutzern der Werke im digitalen Zeitalter schützen.
Schutz von Geschäftsgeheimnissen.
Eine sinnvolle Reform der Patentrechtsstreitigkeiten, die opportunistische Rechtsstreitigkeiten reduziert und es den Erfindern und Innovatoren ermöglicht, sich zu entfalten.
