Campaign to Protect America Legislation  

In June 2007, the CACP launched the Campaign to Protect America, an aggressive legislative package to combat counterfeiting and piracy and IP theft. Many submissions from the Campaign to Protect America became part of Senate bill 3325, the PRO-IP Act, that was signed into law in October of 2008. This act is a critical step toward improving the federal government’s ability to protect IP.

Over the next year the CACP will be working to fully fund and implement the PRO-IP Act and pass the remining pieces of the Campaign to Protect America including:

An authorization to bolster IP enforcement resources and tools for the Department of Homeland Security through its Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agencies
Legislation to improve the U.S.

 

To fight the growing threat of counterfeiting and piracy to the economy, jobs, and consumer health and safety, the business community, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center, organized itself through a broad-based business coalition, the Coalition Against Counterfeiting and Piracy (CACP).

Formed in 2004, the CACP has grown to more than 700 members, making it the largest business coalition of its kind. The coalition is committed to increasing the understanding of the negative impact of counterfeiting and piracy and to finding real solutions by working with governments, industry, opinion leaders, the media, and consumers.
