"C4IP found a significantly higher percentage of patent legislation would have a negative impact compared to proposed copyright legislation, indicating a concerning trend in legislative priorities."
"Nearly two-thirds of Congress received a grade of 'C' or lower in this year's scorecard, highlighting a lack of effective engagement on national IP issues."
"While the percentage of Congressional members achieving a positive grade of 'B+' or greater increased from 2% in 2024 to 11% this year, the overall performance remains troubling."
The Council for Innovation Promotion (C4IP) released its third Congressional Innovation Scorecard, revealing that Congress is not effectively addressing intellectual property issues. Despite an increase in pro-copyright bills, nearly two-thirds of Congress received a grade of 'C' or lower. The scorecard indicates a decline in performance for over 80% of lawmakers, particularly in the House of Representatives. Positive grades have increased slightly, but overall engagement remains low, allowing critical issues like patent eligibility and piracy to persist unaddressed.
