An advocate for protecting intellectual property.

Sen. McCain holds strong positions on what has become another hot-button issue in technology: intellectual property and patents. He supports providing more resources to the US Patent Office, in the form of more staff at the agency — which would help to expedite patent reviews.

The senator would also work to ensure that intellectual property is protected worldwide, advocating agreements with other nations that would help protect the interests of US IP rights holders, including keeping the rights to their work when sold or produced overseas. — http://www.betanews.com

So far I haven’t found anything to tell me how Sen. Obama stands on the issue not even in the Washington Post’s -Votes Database. But tonight was my first night researching my Presidential vote.
