Intellectual Property Watch; Trade Secret Thief Hid Files In Digital Photo Of Sunset
"The criminal complaint alleges that on or about July 5, Zheng, an
engineer employed by General Electric, used an elaborate and
sophisticated means to remove electronic files containing GE’s trade
secrets involving its turbine technologies. Specifically, Zheng is
alleged to have used steganography to hide data files belonging to GE
into an innocuous looking digital picture of a sunset, and then to have
e-mailed the digital picture, which contained the stolen GE data files,
to Zheng’s e-mail account."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
