Industrial Espionage

The Economic Espionage Act of 1996 protects the interests of U.S. businesses from foreign intelligence agencies and from other companies using espionage to steal proprietary information that gives a company its marketing edge. This includes protection of secret formulas, manufacturing practices, and trade secrets.

Individuals facing charges of industrial espionage are frequently also charged with the white collar crimes of wire fraud, mail fraud, and receipt of stolen property if they are in possession of illegally obtained documents.

Import / Export Violations

International trade presents a number of risks for criminal prosecution and trade violations. Some risks relate to laws specific to the products being imported or exported (for example, technology, weapons, drugs, plant materials, food products, animals and animal products). Another area of risk for exposure to criminal charges relates to the manner in which business is conducted, which can include actions covered under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
