Robust #IP protections boost local #economies.
For instance, a recent study found that #biopharmaceutical clinical trials contributed more than $8B to Florida's economy.
Without IP protections, these trials -- and the #innovation behind them -- likely would not have been possible.

#Innovation drives progress -- like safer cars and better medicines. 🚗
But with lifesaving therapies, critics allege that drug companies only improve #medicines to keep prices high. They've dubbed this practice "product hopping."

Filing multiple #patents for a single product isn't insidious. It's how #innovation works.
There are often many distinct and novel innovations that go into a single product, each of which requires its own #patent.
Don't let misinformation weaken U.S. innovation.

Anti-patent groups claim that companies are using various techniques to abuse the #patent system. But these terms misrepresent how #innovation actually works.
The #USPTO only grants patents to #inventions that are novel, useful, and non-obvious.

Without #patents, we'd still be driving Model Ts and using flip phones.
Unfortunately, some critics claim companies patent obvious improvements to extend their patent terms. They call this "evergreening."
Don't fall for it.
