International theft of trade secrets and international intellectual property right infringement are on the rise as China, Mexico, Russia, and other emerging countries are seeking to improve their technology to move up the manufacturing value chain.  With fierce competition from countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia and Bangladesh attempting to undercut China's manufacturing of labor-intensive goods as well as higher end supply chain manufacturing competition from other emerging countries being placed on China, Russia, and Mexico; the pressure to obtain high end trade secrets and intellectual property has led to corporate espionage and theft of valuable trade secrets and intellectual property.  These products when used in other products can come through the supply chain and be the basis for patent infringement lawsuits, whistleblower reward lawsuits, and other types of lawsuits.

International theft of trade secret lawsuits, international patent infringement lawsuits, international intellectual property right infringement lawsuits, and other international business litigation lawsuits can be complicated legal matters requiring an experienced legal team to work across jurisdictions and work with different government entities.   These cases can become procurement fraud whistleblower reward lawsuits when internationally produced products reenter the United States and are sold to the U.S. Government or another governmental entity.

Establish U.S. Government-Wide Working Group to Prevent U.S. Government Purchase of Counterfeit Products
The 2011 IPEC Annual Report on Intellectual Property Enforcement

As the purchaser of over $500 billion in goods and services per year, the U S Government must ensure that it does not purchase counterfeit goods, secure its supply chain, and take the necessary steps to combat the evolving tactics of counterfeiters The Joint Strategic Plan established a government-wide working group to prevent the purchase and use of counterfeit products Over the last year, the IPEC convened an interagency group consisting of subject matter experts to develop an anti-counterfeiting framework that is flexible enough to accommodate the wide variety of missions across the government and their different systems of procurement The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), Department of Defense (DOD), DOJ, and NASA have assumed leadership roles within the working group based on their vast expertise with U S Government procurement and anti-counterfeiting practices Other members include the DOC, Department of Energy, HHS, DHS, and Department of Transportation, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Missile Defense Agency, the General Services Administration, the Small Business Administration, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the National Reconnaissance Office The main focus of this interagency working group is to ensure that the U S Government has the necessary tools to ensure that it does not purchase or use counterfeit products The working group is examining legislative authority, regulations, procurement policy and guidance, industry studies and reports, and international anti-counterfeiting standards in order to identify areas where risk to the security of U S Government supply chain from counterfeit parts can be reduced The working group developed six objectives to focus the group’s efforts to identify legislative, regulatory, or policy gaps and propose solutions to fill those gaps The six objectives are:

• Counterfeit Risk Assessment
• Supplier Requirements
• Traceability
• Testing and Evaluation of Goods
• Counterfeit Training and Outreach
• Enforcement Remedies

The group is developing a government-wide strategy using tools that are already at the U S Government’s disposal and creating new tools to combat the purchase or use of counterfeit goods by the U S Government The strategy will focus on reducing the risk of counterfeit items entering the supply chain, dealing efficiently with any suspected counterfeit items that do enter the supply chain, and strengthening remedies against those who provide counterfeit items to the U S Government.
