Sanction Entities in China for Undermining Rules, Exploiting Intellectual Property Act of 2019 or the SECURE IP Act of 2019
This bill directs the President to publish a list identifying Chinese individuals and entities responsible for or involved in the misappropriation of intellectual property belonging to a U.S. individual or entity, if such infringement materially contributed to a significant threat to U.S. national security, foreign policy, or economic interests.
The President shall impose property-blocking and visa denial sanctions on the Chinese individuals and entities on the list. The President may remove a person from the list if it is determined that the person has not engaged in any misappropriation of U.S. intellectual property in the past two years and has made assurances to not engage in such activity in the future.
