This 76-page report prepared by the Economics and Statistics Administration and the United States Patent and Trademark Office makes the case that, far from being secondary to the task, trademarks and other intellectual property (IP) rights provide the very bedrock by which the United States expands its economy and makes its place in the world. Key findings of the report include the fact that the U.S. economy as a whole relies on some form of IP, because nearly every industry either produces or uses intellectual property. The report also identifies 75 industries that are particularly IP-intensive, and these industries accounted for approximately 27 million jobs and almost 19 percent of employment in the year 2010. The report also includes distinct sections dedicated to patents, trademarks, copyrights, and employment, each of which are fact filled and educational in their own right.
