Intellectual Property Rights

The framework of intellectual property rights established in the U.S. Constitution is one of the pillars on which our economic success rests. It is essential to strike a balance between providing the incentive to invent and innovate and promoting the public interest in the free flow of ideas. CFA opposes frivolous, unjustified and overbroad patent and copyright claims, which chill innovation and deny consumers the benefit or raise the price of valuable goods and services.
