WWFH Presents the Healthcare Innovation Leadership Award to Reps. Knott and Fitzgerald

Intellectual property is the backbone of the biopharma industry’s innovation ecosystem, driving the discovery and development of life‑saving treatments for patients.

In recent years, We Work For Health has presented the Healthcare Innovation Leadership Award to policymakers who demonstrate a sustained commitment to protecting the intellectual property framework that fuels medical innovation.

The latest honorees are Representatives Brad Knott (R-NC) and Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), who have continuously shown a strong commitment to protecting the intellectual property systems that support long-term biomedical research, patient access and American leadership in innovation.

Recognizing the role IP plays in driving innovation is critical to maintaining that leadership, and policymakers must continue to safeguard it.
