In light of continuing cyberattacks and other attempts at misappropriating U.S. trade secrets, the Obama Administration has issued its “Administration Strategy on Mitigating the Theft of U.S. Trade Secrets.” The strategy is focused primarily on preventing foreign misappropriation, particularly by Chinese entities, and calls for a coordinated approach by numerous Federal departments.
