 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Calls for: (1) the United States to not complete agreements relating to accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organization (WTO) until the Russian Federation takes steps to address widespread intellectual property violations; (2) the People's Republic of China to change its intellectual property rights enforcement model by significantly increasing the application of criminal sanctions against major copyright pirates and imposing effective deterrent penalties; (3) Mexico, Canada, India, and Malaysia to cooperate with the U.S. government and U.S. industries to address piracy problems within their borders; and (4) the President to use all effective remedies and solutions for the protection of U.S. intellectual property rights and to maintain policies that vigorously respond to the failure by other countries to abide by international standards of protection or to adequately protect intellectual property.
