On Friday night Senator Hatch, chairman of the Republican high-tech task force, welcomed Salesforce.com Chairman and CEO Mark Benioff to speak to the Utah Technology Council. In his introductory remarks he said:
"California may have Silicon Valley, but Utah’s Silicon Slopes continues to dominate in innovation and performance. Looking ahead to the next Congress, I intend to do everything in my power to enact pro-technology, pro-innovation policies that will ensure the continued success of our high-tech economy."
Senator Hatch will be highlighting his pro-tech, pro-innovation agenda in the next two weeks as the Senate returns from a long recess. In the upcoming congress, as chairman of the Republican high-tech task force, Senator Hatch will focus on addressing 4 key areas: patent trolls, protecting trade secrets, balancing privacy and responsible data storage, and enhancing America's competitive workforce. For an extended explanation of each, see the key excerpts from the speech below or the full speech here. http://www.hatch.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/releases?ID=64333cc6-14bc-469e-ade7-213b956eef7
