Stop Theft of Intellectual Property Act: New Rules for Foreign Nationals

This act aims to prevent foreign nationals involved in economic espionage or trade secret theft from entering or remaining in the U.S. It means individuals suspected of such activities could be denied entry or deported, protecting American businesses and innovations.
Key points
Foreign nationals engaged in trade secret theft or economic espionage will be deemed inadmissible to the U.S.
Foreign nationals already in the U.S. who engage in such activities can be deported.
Annual reports will be issued detailing foreign nationals deemed inadmissible or deportable under these rules, including their affiliations with research institutions or private industries.
