Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights

The Working Group on Intellectual Property Rights, chaired by Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks Bruce A. Lehman, was established within the Information Policy Committee of the IITF to examine the intellectual property implications of the NII and make recommendations on any appropriate changes to U.S. intellectual property law and policy. The Working Group prepared and issued a report titled "Intellectual Property and the National Information Infrastructure" in September 1995.
