Journal Article
Presidential messaging, innovation, and intellectual property
2011
Overview
President Barack Obama's 2011 State of the Union address emphasized encouraging innovation, which he believes is vital to keeping the US a global leader. Everyone knows what it takes to compete for the jobs and industries of time. People need to out-innovate, out-educate, and out-build the rest of the world, said the president on January 25. The author was drawn to the president's terminology. According to a Times speech pattern analysis of State of the Union addresses, Obama used \"innovation\" or related terms 11 times in his 2011 address -- more than three times as frequently as any of his or any other president's State of the Union addresses. The president did not mention any specific form of intellectual property (IP) in his address, but he didn't need to. Anyone who has a sense of recent history or has read this column regularly is confident that IP protection was the proverbial pink elephant that cast a shadow over the president's address.
