"Small businesses and manufacturers are the backbone of our American economy, keeping local communities running and driving innovation with new products and ideas. But when foreign competitors steal Wisconsin's best ideas and inventions, our small businesses -- that too often lack the time and resources to fight back -- pay the price. I am proud to work with my Republican colleague to give Wisconsin's small businesses the tools they need to protect themselves and their ideas, and empower law enforcement to go after the bad actors that are profiting off American innovation."
