This Tuesday evening, Bradley R. Beman, a Special Agent with the FBI, will discuss the Economic Espionage Act, which makes the theft or misappropriation of a trade secret a federal crime. The presentation will be at 5:10 in Room W-206. Billions of dollars are lost to foreign and domestic competitors who deliberately target industrial intelligence in flourishing U.S. industries and technologies and who cull intelligence by exploiting company trade secrets. The Economic Espionage Act was enacted to safeguard our nation’s economic secrets. Food will be served. All are welcome to attend.
