A quick definition of Industrial Espionage Act:

The Industrial Espionage Act, also known as the Economic Espionage Act, is a law created in 1996 that makes it illegal to steal trade secrets or engage in industrial espionage on behalf of a foreign entity. This law also applies to those who knowingly receive, purchase, or possess stolen trade-secret information. Breaking this law can result in criminal penalties.

A more thorough explanation:

The Industrial Espionage Act, also known as the Economic Espionage Act, is a federal law that was passed in 1996. This law makes it illegal to steal trade secrets and provides criminal penalties for those who engage in industrial espionage on behalf of a foreign entity.

Trade secrets are confidential information that gives a company a competitive advantage. Examples of trade secrets include formulas, designs, and processes that are not known to the public. If someone steals this information and uses it for their own benefit or shares it with others, they can be prosecuted under the Industrial Espionage Act.

For example, if a company in China hires someone to work for a U.S. company and steal their trade secrets, that person and the Chinese company can be prosecuted under this law. Similarly, if someone knowingly receives or purchases stolen trade secret information, they can also be prosecuted.

The Industrial Espionage Act is important because it helps protect American companies from unfair competition and theft of their intellectual property. By making it illegal to engage in industrial espionage, this law helps ensure that companies can compete fairly and that their trade secrets remain confidential.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
