Abstract
This Commentary briefly discusses the new bill introduced by Senators Baucus and Hatch to provide better monitoring and enforcement of intellectual property protection in countries whose IP regimes are deemed to be especially lax and damaging to US economic interests. The new bill is the latest installment in a long saga of attempts by US industries who own and export intellectual property to better protect their interests in global markets.
