The U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Global Innovation Policy Center invites you to join us on April 21st for the Global IP Summit, a pivotal gathering of thought leaders to explore the evolving landscape of intellectual property (IP) policy. This year’s theme will be “Writing the Rules of Tomorrow: IP in Trade, Tech, and Sport,” and will focus on the forces that will fundamentally reshape the IP landscape in the years ahead. ‌ Confirmed speakers (additional participants to be announced): ‌

1. The Honorable Deborah Ross, U.S. Representative (D-NC-2)
2. The Honorable John Squires, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
3. Shira Perlmutter, Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office
4. Brett T. Goodman, General Counsel, NBC Sports Group
5. Nicholas Huskins, Senior Corporate Counsel, IP, Amazon Studios and Prime Video
6. Michael McCann, Associate Dean for Intellectual Life and Founding Director of the Sports and Entertainment Law Institute, UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law

Trade, technology, and sport sit at the center of today’s most dynamic IP debates—where cross‑border commerce, breakthrough innovation, and global sporting events are testing the limits of existing rules and revealing where modernized frameworks are urgently needed.‌

The Summit is designed to spark candid discussion, surface bold ideas, and inspire collaborative problem solving. By the end of the day, participants will have a sharper understanding of the shifts underway, and the actions needed to stay ahead of them.‌
