Carlos Gutierrez Property Quotations

The protection of intellectual property is vital to our economic growth and global competitiveness, and it has major consequences in our ongoing effort to promote security and stability around the world,

The violation of intellectual property rights costs U.S. businesses $250 billion a year, and costs our economy about 750,000 jobs lost (to overseas competitors),

Intellectual property rights violations are a crime and we don't believe we should be negotiating crimes with our trading partners.

Theft of intellectual property is not tolerated and will not be tolerated.
