Today, Congressman Ben Cline (VA-06) received the highest rating out of any member of  the House of Representatives on a new legislative scorecard released by the Council for Innovation Promotion for working to advance strong and effective intellectual property rights that promote American innovation, creative output, and the industry. 

“I am honored to receive the highest score in the House of Representatives on the Council for Innovation Promotion’s scorecard,” Rep.
