Intellectual property victory will be the result of six years of advocacy by NMMA
WASHINGTON, DC, October 1, 2008 – Yesterday, the U.S. Senate passed H.R. 6531, the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act Amendments (VHDPA) of 2008. The amendments, which passed in the House of Representatives in July 2008 and require signature from the President before becoming law, will provide boat manufacturers with increased protection from intellectual property violations that occur through “hull splashing.”
