Message: Long (slow) Court system hurts IP protection.

I happened to listen to part of Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, testimony to a Congress subcommittee on avoidance of taxes yesterday. He briefly mentioned protecting intellectual property protection.

Cook: That has clearly been an issue. I think that the US court system is currently structured in such a way that its very difficult to get the protection a tech company needs because our cycles are very fast. The court system is very long, and the foreign competitors in the US can quickly take IP and use it and ship products with it and they're on to the next product as well. I would love to see conversations between countries and see protections between IP globally. For us, our intellectual property is so important, I would love the system to be strengthened in order to protect it.
