The surprising way Trump can unleash America's economic comeback

In his address to a joint session of Congress, the president predicted that "our country is on the verge of a comeback the likes of which the world has never witnessed." That prediction is backed up by his recent announcements of massive new private sector investments in AI infrastructure and new executive orders to ensure that the U.S. leads the world in the industries of the future. In order to fulfill the promise that those actions suggest, however, it's essential that President Donald Trump support steps to shore up America's intellectual property system, the cornerstone of our innovation economy, rooting out malicious foreign interests and installing new leadership to help guide the comeback. To start, we need to address the fact that legal damages for patent infringement are no longer calculated reliably. U.S. courts have strayed from commonsense assessments to the detriment of American innovation.
