The article discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's return to the White House on intellectual property (IP) law and small businesses in 2025. Trump's strong stance on IP enforcement, especially against international threats, may lead to new tariffs, stricter import controls, and more rigorous penalties for IP violations. Small businesses are advised to prepare for potential changes in IP policies, such as diversifying suppliers, exploring domestic manufacturing options, and aligning with any new patent laws to protect their innovations.
