NAM policy chief: U.S. high-tech manufacturing under attack in Latin America

摘要

Ryan Ong, director for international business policy with the National Association of Manufacturers, this week called on U.S. trade officials to counter practices followed by some Latin America countries that he says are undercutting U.S. manufacturers' intellectual property rights. "This high-tech side of our manufacturing sector is under attack," Ong said in an Oc. 29 Detroit News op-ed. "Some of America's trading partners in Latin America are disregarding legal protections for U.S. manufacturers' intellectual property - and allowing firms within their borders to steal American innovators' ideas. Such practices harm our economy and our workers."
