On February 22, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Global Innovation Policy Center (GIPC) released the 2024 International IP Index, which provides an annual snapshot of the impact of legal developments in intellectual property (IP) on the innovation ecosystem in dozens of nations across the world. While the United States again earned the top overall rank on the GIPC’s index, several issues weakening the nation’s IP system remain, including long-term uncertaintiy regarding subject matter eligibility and issues with respect to validity proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). This panel will discuss where the United States stands globally, what the U.S. is doing well, and what can be done to improve the system for innovators and creators, as well as implementers and those who control popular distribution channels.
