The hearing will be held in Room 385 Russell Senate Office Building, Delaware & Constitution Avenues, NE, Washington, DC 20510
The hearing will assess China’s compliance with the provisions of its World Trade Organization accession agreement that address intellectual property rights, and will examine how China’s policies are affecting U.S. national security, and the entertainment, recording, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries. It also will seek information about actions the U.S. government can take to improve the current level of intellectual property rights protection.
The Commission will hear from members of Congress, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Technology Policy Chris Israel, Assistant U.S. Trade Representative for China Affairs Timothy Stratford, and Randall Lutter, Associate Commissioner of the Federal Drug Administration for Policy and Planning. The Commission also will hear from industry representatives and academic and legal experts to fill out their knowledge of how intellectual property rights infringement in China affects U.S. industries and what the U.S. government can do to protect U.S. interests.
