WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) joined Reps. Jeffries (D-NY), Collins (R-NY), Chu (D-CA), and Smith (R-TX) to establish an alternative forum – the Small Claims Board – in the U.S. Copyright Office to resolve infringement claims. The Board would help millions of creators enforce ownership of their intellectual property in situations that are too cost prohibitive to pursue in federal court but have devastating effects on their livelihoods.
