  • June 15, 2021 the Honorable Dick Durbin Chairman United States
    June 15, 2021 The Honorable Dick Durbin The Honorable Chuck Grassley Chairman Ranking Member United States Senate Judiciary Committee United States Senate Judiciary Committee Washington, District of Columbia 20510 Washington, District of Columbia 20510 Dear Chairman Durbin and Ranking Member Grassley: We applaud your leadership on intellectual property (IP) issues as the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee. To inform your work on these issues, we want to highlight the 2021 World IP Day comments of IP Subcommittee Chairman Patrick Leahy. In a statement on the floor, Chairman Leahy urged the next United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Director to protect small businesses and provide equitable access to the patent system, including by faithfully executing Congress’ intent to weed out bad patents in post-grant review proceedings. In particular, Chairman Leahy stated that the next USPTO Director must “respect the law, including the statutory bounds set by Congress,”1 unlike the last Administration’s appointees, who “took steps to undermine the Leahy-Smith Act” and “acted outside those statutory bounds.”2 We agree with those statements and fully support the Senate Judiciary Committee's efforts to ensure that the next USPTO Director returns to the goals of the AIA. We agree with Chairman Leahy’s priorities in selecting a nominee who embodies these principles. We especially appreciate that Chairman Leahy “look[s] forward to supporting a nominee for PTO Director who shares [his] view that it is important to weed out poor-quality patents, void the potential for abuse, but at the same time reinforce the protection provided to high-quality patents.”3 On these points, Chairman Leahy has the support of a vast range of manufacturers from auto to energy sectors, small business app and connected device makers, networking equipment makers, and digital health companies and providers.

  • Inter-University Council DACA Letter 1/29/17, 12:05 PM
    Inter-University Council DACA Letter 1/29/17, 12:05 PM December 29, 2016 The Honorable Rob Portman United States Senate 448 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Portman: Ohio’s public university Presidents want to thank Senators Lindsey Graham, Dick Durbin, Lisa Murkowski, Dianne Feinstein, Jeff Flake, and Chuck Schumer for their support – through introduction of the BRIDGE Act – of the many public university students in Ohio facing uncertainty over their immigration status. Many Ohio students are facing great difficulty because of the indeterminate status of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. We stand in support of these students who arrived on our campuses believing in the promises made by the government of the United States of America. The BRIDGE Act would provide these students with work authorization and a “provisional protected status” from deportation. It would help alleviate the immediate concerns regarding their status while the nation continues to pursue a long-term solution to immigration reform. DACA students on our campuses have enriched the learning environment and brought extraordinary talent to our state. They have provided leadership in numerous disciplines from education to science and technology, and are actively serving their local communities and economies. These students have been raised and educated in the United States and have proven to be an important asset to our society. The Inter-University Council is a strong advocate of the BRIDGE Act because it provides hope to our students and sends a clear and compelling message of support to our community. We look forward to working closely with you, members of the United States Senate, and other policy makers who will stand up for and favor a fair policy treating these students with the respect that they have earned.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

I was nervous about being so far from home but I grew as a person and was able to experience so much. I joined a sports club, traveled all over Australia and New Zealand, and made life long friends. I took some of the most interesting classes involving Australian foreign policy and Australian culture. Overall, my experience abroad challenged me and broadened my perspective of the world.” -- Mason Myers (‘20) “I spent a month in Salerno learning all about the rich culture and history of southern Italy. I took Italian classes and conversed exclusively in Italian with my host family. I walked on the lungomare, or seafront, on the way to class each morning and spent my afternoons at the beach or shopping. On the weekends, I traveled around the Campania region, visiting Naples, Pompeii, and Caserta -- known as the “Italian Versailles.” When I wasn’t studying or traveling, I explored Salerno.

    June 4, 2018 Honorable Chuck Grassley Honorable Dianne Feinstein Chairman Ranking Member Senate Judiciary Committee Senate Judiciary Committee 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: On behalf of the Copyright Alliance and our members, I write in opposition to S. 2933, the Accessibility for Curators, Creators, Educators, Scholars, and Society to Recordings Act (the “ACCESS to Recordings Act”). The bill is a fundamentally flawed attempt to address misinformed and unfounded criticisms of the Music Modernization Act (S. 2823), in particular, provisions which would enable legacy artists (who recorded music before 1972) to be paid royalties when their music is played on digital radio. The Copyright Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest and educational organization representing the copyright interests of over 1.8 million individual creators and over 13,000 organizations in the United States, across the spectrum of copyright disciplines. In particular, we represent most of the individuals and businesses involved in the music industry, including songwriters, music publishers, performance rights organizations, recording artists, producers, record labels, and broadcasters. The Copyright Alliance is dedicated to advocating policies that promote and preserve the value of copyright and to protecting the rights of creators and innovators, including musicians, filmmakers, photographers and publishers. The individual creators and organizations that we represent rely on copyright law to protect their creativity, efforts, and investments in the creation and distribution of new copyrighted works for the public to enjoy. Among other things, the Music Modernization Act would correct a historical injustice by requiring digital services to pay legacy artists when they stream their music under federal law.
