Defying claims that bi-partisanship in Congress is dead, the United States Senate has passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act by a vote of 87-0. The measure, approved by the upper chamber on April 4, goes to the House of Representatives, which is considering a very similar bill with sponsorship from both sides of the aisle. The President has expressed support for such a law. (Our article, Defend Trade Secrets Act — Congress Tries Again, discusses the introduction of the DTSA in the Senate.)
