October 14, 2008. President Bush Signs New IP Enforcement Bill Into Law

By Catherine Saez President Bush on Monday signed into law a bill
strengthening civil and criminal laws against counterfeiting and piracy,
boosting resources for enforcement and prosecution, and changing
coordination of IP enforcement issues within the Executive Branch. Under th=
e
Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property (PRO-IP)
Act of 2008, copyright registration would not be a prerequisite to criminal
action, and a civil infringement action could be brought regardless of
errors in registration unless those errors were made knowingly.
