Quote (EMPHASIS added):
"When Secretary Penny Pritzker went through the Senate Commerce Committee for her confirmation hearing she was asked what she would do on patents. In response to a question from Senator Warner (D-VA) she said that job creation comes from patent protection. Senator Scott (R-SC) asked about making things again and talked up how insourcing of manufacturing jobs is on the rise in South Carolina. Pritzker’s reply: manufacturing firms create the most patents and you can’t innovate unless you are close to the factory floor and that the US is a great place to make things thanks to the rule of law and a strong patent system. Sen. Scott asked her about enforcement of trade laws to protect IP and she said that she felt that was very important and would focus on it as Commerce Secretary. And in response to a question from Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN) about improving competitiveness and job creation for small firms Pritzker said that improving the speed of patent issuance can help to quicken time to market for firms.
MANY OF THESE SAME QUESTIONS REMAIN RELEVANT and can be asked of Ross during his confirmation proceedings. His answers may be similar, demonstrating that IP remains a nonpartisan area and really an unfortunate battle of business models and political influence."
