    The following statement is attributed to Gigi B. Sohn, president and
    co-founder of Public Knowledge:

    “We congratulate Victoria Espinel on her confirmation as
    Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator. As we said before, we
    believe she is well qualified for the position, having served as the
    assistant U.S. Trade Representative for Intellectual Property and
    Innovation, and we believe she will be fair in her approach to
    intellectual property enforcement issues. We look forward to working with
    her.”

    Note: The Obama Administration was required to appoint an Intellectual
    Property Enforcement Coordinator (a so-called “IP Czar,”) by
    Sec. 301 of the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual
    Property Act of 2008, which was signed into law by then-President Bush on
    Oct. 13, 2008.
