Coke Morgan Stewart, a former deputy under secretary of commerce for intellectual property, urged the United States Oct. 27 to preserve protections for creators and small businesses as AI development expands. Stewart also served as deputy director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), where her role ended in July 2026. She is now president and CEO of the Council for Innovation Promotion, a coalition that advocates strong intellectual-property rights. She called those rights the economy’s “great equalizer.” The patent findings concern startups.
