In recent years, the problem of countries, companies, and individuals
misappropriating the trade secrets of U.S. companies has only become
bigger, more insidious, and more expensive to address, and lawyers and
business executives have no choice but to deal with this increasingly
complex problem. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, intellectual
property (IP) accounted for $5.06 trillion in value added, or 34.8 percent
of U.S. GDP in 2010. IP alone accounts for over 40 million U.S. jobs and
over 60 percent of all U.S. exports. U.S. companies have a lot to lose.
