A former research scientist at DuPont pleaded guilty to misappropriating trade secret information from his employer valued at $400 million. The employee downloaded tens of thousands of pages of technical data and proprietary information from DuPonts systems. Much of this information was completely unrelated to his job function. DuPont discovered his activities during an internal review only after the employee made public his decision to leave the company. Lawyers must also work with corporate information security and IT groups to ensure technical measures are being used to reduce the likelihood of incidents such as the one in DuPont.”]
