Symposium the economic Espionage Act of 1996: An expert roundtable

The language of the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA) is often broad, with many “gray areas” left unresolved. Below, we have excerpted remarks from panel discussions featuring attorneys who specialize in trade secrets law, including those involved in drafting and enforcing the legislation. The discussion took place last February as part of the SCIP symposium on the ramifications of the EEA, held at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. These off-the-cuff discussion remarks are intended for informational purposes only and are not intended to convey legal advice on specific matters.
