Indian-American Vishal J Amin's name has been sent by President
Donald Trump to the Senate for confirmation as America's new 'IP czar'
to coordinate the country's law-enforcement strategy around copyright,
patents and trademarks.
If confirmed by the Senate, Amin, who is
currently Senior Counsel on House Judiciary Committee, would succeed
Daniel Marti in the White House.
Earlier this month, Trump had
tapped him as the US' new Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator
-- dubbed as 'IP czar' -- to coordinate US law-enforcement strategy
around copyright, patents and trademarks.
Amin has served in the
administration of former president George W Bush at the White House as
Associate Director for Domestic Policy and at the US Department of
Commerce as Special Assistant and Associate Director for Policy in the
Office of the Secretary, the White House said.
Amin received his
bachelor's degree in neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University and his
law degree from Washington University in St Louis.
The Recording Industry Association of America welcomed his nomination.
"The
prompt appointment and consideration of this position is critical, and
we commend President Trump for his choice. Vishal Amin is a smart,
thoughtful leader and we look forward to working with him," said Cary
Sherman, chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of
America.
