Restrictions on Corporate Surveillance
Category: Civil Rights | Strength: Mild
The World Assembly,
Recognizing the troubles of companies to protect the trade secrets that keep them going,
Saddened by the work of competing companies to take these secrets,
Hoping to make sure that companies may retain their secrets,
Hereby:
1. Defines, for the purposes of this resolution:
- "Trade Secret" as an intellectual property that may consist of formulas, processes, etc. that has some economic value due to it usually being about a product that a company manufactures and sales, and with a great deal of security to prevent others from having the exact same product.
- "Intellectual Property" as a physical version of an idea to be patented or kept as a trade secret, the definition of which is stated above.
- "Corporate Surveillance" as the practice of spying on or monitoring of employees of a corporation or an entire corporation with the intent of taking trade secrets or reporting illegal practices by the law of the nation the company is committing such acts to other corporations or law enforcement agencies respectively.
2. Bans the use of spies by other corporations in the same market as the one that they are spying on or monitoring to take trade secrets or practices that are not patented, or that are patented and whereas the patent has not yet expired.
3. Allows for the monitoring of a corporation to find illegal practices or harmful activities by the government of the nation the corporation is situated in or an independent group licensed by said government.
4. Encourages nations to create legislation further adding on to the policies stated in this resolution.
So, GA community, what do you think? Should I add, should I subtract? I encourage all of you to participate in the discussion.
