Americans Need Transparency Over Plans to Confiscate IP
==========
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce challenges the Biden Administration's stonewalling of FOIA requests on 'march-in rights' to find out how the plan to confiscate IP of businesses was made. The Biden Administration's march-in plans threaten the American innovation ecosystem. The public must understand who made this decision, how it was made, and what pressures were placed on career bureaucrats to reach this determination. The prospective use of march-in rights would allow the government to override the intellectual property rights of American businesses and seize innovators' patents. President Biden has characterized the plans as 'good for competition,' 'good for the economy,' and 'good for ... millions of Americans.' The Working Group in charge of the plans is already finalizing the framework for execution. It is vital that the American people get insight into how those plans were made to ensure the ability of Americans to innovate.
