JONES DAY PRESENTS®: Cross-Border Trade Secret Litigation in the United States
The Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 allows for U.S. district courts to preside over matters of foreign misappropriation of U.S. technology and trade secrets. Jones Day’s Randy Kay, who chairs the Firm’s global trade secrets focus team, talks about the applicability of the Act to foreign misappropriation, what can constitute the requisite “act in furtherance,” and why U.S.-based trade secrets owners benefit from bringing civil claims in U.S. courts.
