Federal copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secret claims are creatures of statutes passed by Congress and signed by the President. As anyone who has watched Schoolhouse Rock knows, the process by which a bill becomes a law is a “long, long journey.” That process involves the identification of issues warranting attention, negotiation among stakeholders, engagement with legislators and their staff, and ultimately the approval of the executive.
