Collins, DelBene Introduce Legislation To Protect American Companies' Trade Secrets From Foreign Entities
Reps. Doug Collins, R-Ga., and Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., introduced legislation Wednesday that would allow American companies whose trade secrets are stolen by foreign entities to sue in federal court, a news release said. The Defend Trade Secrets Protection Act would provide to American companies that are victims of foreign espionage the same redress that rights owners of other forms of intellectual property currently enjoy under U.S. law, it said.
