WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) announces the introduction of a bill that will prohibit the Biden Administration from giving away the fruits of American ingenuity to foreign adversaries and putting at risk global health in the face of a pandemic.

"It deeply concerns me to hear of the Biden Administration's plan to forgo IP protections on COVID-19 vaccines. This plan is a direct infringement upon American ingenuity and innovation and hands over our nation's intellectual prowess for the world's taking,” said Rep. Byron Donalds. “This Administration has made it a point to put America last, and this is just another glaring example of this sad reality. Tomorrow, I will be introducing a bill with the support of Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Banks that will prevent the Biden Administration from senselessly giving away America's intellectual property to countries like China."

 
“Biden is once again proving that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and not the American people have a seat at his table. In a brazen move, Biden has agreed to waive the IP rights of American innovators and workers,” said RSC Chairman Rep. Jim Banks. “By refusing to support American inventions and hard work, he is ensuring that China, where this pandemic began, reaps the benefits of American ingenuity. Rep. Donalds’ bill is a win for American workers, families, and innovators.”
