Conservatives for Property Rights is a coalition of conservative groups that stand for private property rights — physical, financial, personal, intellectual.
Today, a coalition of 30+ organizations and individuals led by @CmteForJustice sent Congress a letter in support of the NDO Fairness Act, which would ensure nondisclosure orders are subject to judicial review and cannot be used to obtain personal data without notification. 1/x
"If lawmakers are serious about improving patient access to medicines, they should start with evidence, not rhetoric. That means rejecting proposals that weaken patent protections..."

"This year’s Special 301 report took a meaningful step toward calling out misbehavior of adversaries and allies wherever it occurs. Ultimately, addressing these issues head-on is the first step towards reform."

"We believe it is time to call out the increasingly blatant efforts to undermine intellectual property by our allies -- not just our adversaries -- and urgently work with these trading partners to reform their ways."

Innovation starts with a simple idea—and grows with strong IP.
Joelle Flynn, founder of Funk Off, turned a gap in the market into a patented product with 11 U.S. patents + international protection.
That’s how you build—and protect—value.
A new postpartum medical device doesn’t get built without capital.
And capital doesn’t show up without intellectual property protections.
At CIP’s Women’s Event, Jennifer West made it clear:
👉 No IP = No investment = No innovation
The U.S. leads the world in IP—for now.
But that edge isn’t guaranteed.
If we want more innovation, more jobs, and global competitiveness, we need to protect the system that makes it possible.

Great discussion between former @uspto Director Andrei Iancu and Prof. Jonathan Barnett on Prof. Barnett's book "The Big Steal: Ideology, Interest, and the Undoing of Intellectual Property." @CSISInnovation https://t.co/BvDcZ41G5g
former @uspto Dir. Iancu: "It's actually remarkable that we have to spend so much time on the concept of injunctive relief for intellectual property rights in 2026 [...] despite the fact that all of our intellectual property rights derive from the U.S. Constitution..."
As Andre Iancu put it, IP policy is about more than patents and process. It’s one of the key tools America has to drive innovation, create jobs, strengthen the economy, and protect national security.
That’s the bigger picture behind debates over PERA, PREVAIL, and RESTORE.
Jonathan Barnett is spot on: “In almost every market around the world, where you strengthen property rights, capital flows in and it funds that industry.”
That’s exactly why strong patent rights matter. They give innovators, investors, and businesses the confidence to build, fund, and scale the next generation of American innovation.
