FOR BACKGROUND PURPOSES THE PROTECT IP ACT: COMBATING ONLINE INFRINGEMENT CREATING AMERICAN JOBS, PROMOTING AMERICA’S ECONOMY, PROTECTING AMERICAN CONSUMERS

The bipartisan PROTECT IP Act was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a unanimous voice vote on May 26, 2011. The legislation will protect American businesses and American workers by making it more difficult for operators of rogue websites, often based overseas, to steal American intellectual property. More than 40 Senators are cosponsors of the legislation, which is supported by hundreds of businesses, consumer advocacy groups, labor organizations and intellectual property coalitions.
