Dear President Obama and Secretary General Ban Ki-moon:

As we are entering a period of global uncertainty, whether dealing with emerging public health threats like Zika, political and economic changes like Brexit, or larger trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) or the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) we want to outline principles of policies that will enhance innovation, invention, and new solutions for people around the globe.

 We, the undersigned, support policies that foster new, useful, and unique products for people around the world. Policymakers should consider these principles when making or debating local public policy or international agreements.

• Market-based policies that reward the value of invention and innovation to individuals and society;
• Intellectual property rights, and enforcement, are made readily available to inventors;
• Each inventor should have access to her government, and particularly independent courts, to defend her properly patented ideas and inventions from unlawful theft; and
• To support these principles each government should promote, support, and defend a patent and intellectual property regime that embodies these principles.

Therefore, we encourage current and future policymakers to use these principles when developing policy in local governments or at multi-lateral international organizations.

Signed: See below
