Industry sources tell POLITICO they expect White House Intellectual Property czar Victoria Espinel to drop her much-anticipated IP report this week. Her recommendations could reach the vice president’s office Tuesday and go public Wednesday, just in time for the Senate Judiciary Committee’s scheduled IP oversight hearing.I believe the report in question is the "Joint Strategic Plan," mandated by Section 301 of the 2008 PRO-IP Act, and whose contents are described at Section 303. Earlier this year, Espinel's office sought public comments in anticipation of releasing the report.
Here's a link to the notice of the Senate Judiciary Committee's June 23 oversight hearing, which will feature testimony from Espinel, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer; Paul E. Almeida, President, Department for Professional Employees at the AFL-CIO; David Hirschmann, President and CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center; and Caroline Bienstock, President and CEO of independent music publisher Carlin America.
