A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to allow an owner of a trade secret redress of the theft of trade secrets extraterritorially, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 1836 of Title 18 of the United States Code to allow the owner of a trade secret to seek legal redress for the theft of that trade secret, even if the theft occurred outside the United States and involved a non-US person or a foreign organization. This expands the existing law, which only covered trade secret theft within the US, to provide protection for American companies against extraterritorial theft of their trade secrets that could impact US commerce.
