Strategy on Mitigating the Theft of U.S.
Trade Secrets (February 2013), ‘‘trade
secret theft threatens American
businesses, undermines national

U.S. economy in jeopardy.’’ Likewise,
increased mobility, globalization, and
the anonymous/pseudonymous nature
of the internet result in new challenges
to protecting trade secrets. In pursuit of
the goals of the Administration Strategy
through information sharing and
discussion, the United States Patent and
Trademark Office will hold a public
symposium on issues relevant to the
protection of trade secrets. Topics to be
discussed include losses due to trade

the threat of trade secret theft in the U.S.
The symposium will feature panel
discussions, and there will be
opportunities for attendees to ask
