White House Plan On Trade Secrets Includes Ramping Up USTR Efforts

摘要

A new strategic plan released by the White House this week to address the growing threat of economic espionage and theft of trade secrets contains a trade policy element under which the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative will take new actions to promote effective protection and enforcement of trade secrets. According to the plan, USTR will better cooperate with other like-minded countries and target weaknesses in trade secret protection "through enhanced use of the annual Special 301 process," including possible crafting of action plans with other countries on this issue.
