The controversial Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008, the "PRO IP Act," is the latest effort in the ongoing struggle to protect America's intellectual property from infringement and counterfeiting, activities which are estimated to have cost the United States between $200 and $250 billion in annual lost sales, as well as 750,000 jobs. This set includes the bill versions prepared prior to the passage of the Act, reports, congressional debate, and hearings. The related hearings section includes those held since the enactment of the Intellectual Property Protection and Courts Amendment Act of 2004. Previous hearings relating to the protection of intellectual property are listed in the bibliography as are a large number of legal periodical articles dealing with copyright infringement, piracy, and counterfeit goods.
