False. The United States has a number of laws that provide mechanisms for businesses to license their intellectual property. For example, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) grants patents that allow businesses to license their inventions, designs, and processes. The US Copyright Office grants copyrights that allow businesses to license their creative works, such as music, literature, and artwork. Additionally, the US Trade Office grants trademarks that allow businesses to license their logos, slogans, and other branding elements. As such, the US does provide mechanisms for businesses to license their intellectual property.
