New Tales Of Old

The United States Trade Representative publishes every April annual reports on the IP situation in selected countries. The year 2025 has seen a new 2025 Special 301 Report.

In its preamble, the Trade Representatives thanks the contributors for providing information and lists many of them. Among those are government organizations, US embassies in various countries and interested stakeholders.

Given that there were many sources enabling the Trade Representative to collect unbiased information it would seem that the final report should be absolutely accurate and impeccable, all the more that it was also reviewed by the Special 301 Subcommittee of the interagency Trade Policy Staff Committee.
