Call us now:
If it were not so serious one Ostrich said to the other………………as the DoJ charges a dual US, Chinese citizen with stealing plans for US defence technology.
In less than 1 month of employment the individual was able to steal trade secret technologies developed for use by the U.S. government to detect nuclear missile launches, track ballistic and hypersonic missiles, and to allow U.S. fighter planes to detect and evade heat-seeking missiles.
One wonders if his per-employment screening went well? In 2014, while employed at a U.S. information technology company headquartered in Dallas, Gong sent a business proposal to a contact at a high-tech research institute in China focused on both military and civilian products. In his proposal, translated from Chinese, Gong described a plan to produce high-performance analog-to-digital converters like those produced by his employer. In another Talent Program application from September 2020, Gong proposed to develop “low light/night vision†image sensors for use in military night vision goggles and civilian applications. Gong’s proposal included a video presentation that contained the model number of a sensor developed by an international defense, aerospace, and security company where Gong worked from 2015 to 2019.
One would be interested to know the success rate for Defense IP theft and why there’s push back on the application of DFARS 2521.204-7012.
