Manufacturers Launch Seven-Figure Ad Campaign Opposing Biden Administration’s March-In Proposal
Washington, D.C. – The 17Թ has launched a seven-figure television and digital advertising campaign opposing the Biden Administration’s new proposal that would allow the government to march in and seize the rights to groundbreaking innovations developed by manufacturers.
“This radical new proposal is a major threat to manufacturers in America and counter to the president’s goals of growing the sector,” said 17Թ President and CEO Jay Timmons. “Empowering the government to march in and seize the rights to private-sector patents and technologies threatens American innovation and R&D, putting millions of well-paying manufacturing jobs at risk. Policymakers must protect manufacturers’ intellectual property rights and stop this government overreach.”
