Washington, April 30 (CNA) The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) recognized Taiwan's efforts in trade secret protection in the latest annual Special 301 Report released Friday.
In the first Special 301 Report released by U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai (戴琪) under the Biden administration, the USTR highlighted a recent case under the amended Trade Secret Act in which a court in Taiwan found that a Taiwanese semiconductor company and three former employees were guilty of stealing trade secrets from a U.S. company to enable the development of electronics chips by a Chinese state-owned enterprise.
