New Full-Length Documentary Reveals China Exploiting Weaknesses in U.S. Patent Protection
Feature-Length Documentary INNOVATION RACE to Launch in Select Theaters NOVEMBER 16
Compelling and Bold Film Proclaims that Protecting Patents and Intellectual Property also Protects our Freedoms
The compelling, feature-length documentary INNOVATION RACE will be coming to select theaters on November 16, 2022. INNOVATION RACE boldly explores the imminent threat of China exploiting weaknesses in U.S. patent protection and presents solutions for restoring our dominance in innovation, technology, and invention.
“We are thrilled to share INNOVATION RACE with audiences on the big screen,” shares filmmaker Luke Livingston. “This film gives voice to fascinating inventors and informs the general public on issues impacting America’s leadership in innovation. We hope it is effective and that Americans rally behind the film’s message, because there is no prize for second place.”
The film will launch in theaters as a one-night only event in the following cities:
Chicago
Cincinnati
Dallas-Ft. Worth
Denver
Houston
Los Angeles/Orange County
Orlando
Phoenix (Mesa)
Pittsburgh
San Francisco
Seattle
Tampa (Lakeland)
Washington, D.C. (Fairfax)
Created by Ground Floor Video, the filmmaking team of Luke and Jo Anne Livingston (INVALIDATED), and executive produced by Jenny Beth Martin and Tea Party Patriots Action, INNOVATION RACE shares a timely, dire warning of China’s commitment to using the weaknesses in our patent systems against us. While the film feels like the plot to a blockbuster political thriller, INNOVATION RACE exposes why this issue matters to all Americans, and is a reminder that there is no prize for second place.
Protection of inventions and intellectual property is guaranteed in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution. Yet these safeguards were weakened in 2011 after the America Invents Act passed, which opened up loopholes that have been exploited by not only China, but also Big Tech. There is an immediate need to amend this piece of legislation, or our country faces long-term consequences in the national security arena, on the economic front, and even in a terrifying loss of freedoms.
