 Economic Espionage Act (EEA) The EEA is legislation passed by Congress in October 1996 designed to further prevent the theft of trade secrets. The law redefined the definition of a trade secret, as well as raised the penalty from that of a civil crime to a criminal one. According to a Fuld & Company survey completed following the one-year anniversary of the EEA's passage, few legal departments have educated their own employees on the EEA, and those analysts who are aware of the Act feel it will have minimal impact on their information-gathering activities. See the Ethics and Legalities section for more details. Return to Dictionary list |
