Celebrate World Intellectual Property Day

Did you know that April 26 is World Intellectual Property Day?  The U.S. Copyright Office recently hosted a gathering of lawmakers, songwriters, filmmakers, and government officials to honor the day.  As the featured speaker, House Judiciary Chair Bob Goodlatte announced his plan to hold hearings on U.S. copyright law in the coming months.  "The goal of these hearings will be to determine whether the laws are still working in the digital age.  I welcome all interested parties to submit their views and concerns to the Committee."
