Intellectual property" as a category (never mind whether it is "propaganda" or a legitimate taxonomy--those /are/ rules of property rather than liability) is a post-1945 conception. The US Congress names for /committees/, as opposed to subcommittees, is fixed by tradition and maintained by the territorialism of committee chairs; there are no committees called "intellectual property." Primary jurisdiction over such legislation is held in both Houses by the Committees on the Judiciary, with theoretically secondary jurisdiction in the Commerce Committees.
