5/5. The U.S. District Court (NDCal) returned an indictment [6 pages in PDF] that charges Philip Gabriel Pettersson with intentionally causing damage to a protected computer in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1030, and misappropriation of trade secrets in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1832(a)(2) and (a)(4). See, Department of Justice (DOJ) release.

The indictment alleges that Pettersson is a resident of the nation of Sweden who hacked into the computer systems of Cisco Systems and stole its confidential and proprietary source code for its Internetwork Operating System (IOS).

The indictment further alleges that Pettersson acted with "intent to convert trade secrets belonging to Cisco to the economic benefit of someone other than" Cisco.

The indictment further alleges that Pettersson "did knowingly cause, and attempt to cause, the transmission of a program, information, code, and command to the computer system and network of the NASA NAS Supercomputer and NASA Ames, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally caused damage without authorization to a protected computer, ..."

This case is U.S.A. v. Philip Gabriel Pettersson, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, D.C. No. CR 09-0471 RMW.

Some members of Congress are advocating legislation that would expand federal powers with respect to regulation of cybersecurity. The Obama administration, which has not yet disclosed its plans and legislative proposals, may also advocate an expansion of federal authority. Disclosing and publicizing cyber breaches at this time may facilitate the attainment of such goals.

5/6. President Obama issued a statement regarding international trade. He said that "We will negotiate future trade agreements".

He also said that "I am developing a plan of action for pending free trade agreements". He did not mention the US Korea Free Trade Agreement, which was negotiated, but not approved by the Congress.

See also, story titled "US and Korea Announce FTA" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,559, April 2, 2007. And see, text of the agreement, and particularly, sections regarding telecommunications [17 pages in PDF], electronic commerce [4 pages in PDF], intellectual property rights [35 pages in PDF].

Obama also stated that "I will also work with our trading partners to advance a strong market-opening agreement for agriculture, industrial goods, and services through the Doha Development Round and through other negotiations".

He also used the words "transparent" and "transparency" four times, including in reference to negotiation of trade agreements. See, story titled "Transparency: EFF and PK Complain About OUSTR's Secret ACTA" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,935, May 6, 2009.

Obama also proclaimed the week of May 17, 2009, through May 23, 2009, to be "World Trade Week".

The White House news office issued a statement on May 6, 2009, that discloses that "President Obama spoke with Chinese President Hu this morning and discussed ways to enhance cooperation on the global economy" and other matters.

5/4. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (OUSTR) announced in a release that on May 4, 2009, USTR Ron Kirk met in Washington DC with Toshihiro Nikai, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan "to discuss various bilateral and multilateral trade-related issues".

This release states that "They reaffirmed that protectionism must be avoided" and that "They agreed to work together closely to achieve a successful Doha Development Round that is both ambitious and balanced."

In addition, "They reaffirmed their joint view, shared by other interested countries, on the need for China to withdraw the implementation of its certification rules for government procurement of 13 IT security products -- rules which are inconsistent with international norms."

The issue is the People's Republic of China (PRC) expansion of its China Compulsory Certificate (CCC) regime to include information technology security products.

The PRC announced the addition of IT security products to its CCC regime on January 28, 2008. The effective date is May 1, 2009.

The certification process could be used for protectionist purposes by the PRC. It could also be used to mandate disclosure to the PRC of trade secrets of the producers of IT security products.

4/30. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (OUSTR) released its annual Special 301 Report [44 pages in PDF] identifying countries that deny adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights or deny fair and equitable market access to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual property protection.

This report removes Korea from the Watch List. Taiwan was removed from the Watch List in January of this year. This report elevates Canada to the Priority Watch List (PWL). The People's Republic of China and Russia remain on the PWL, and primary subjects of the report.

USTR Ron Kirk stated in a release that "As U.S. right holders, businesses, and workers suffer losses from international piracy, counterfeiting, and other forms of IPR theft, the Special 301 Report provides a critical policy tool for focusing on urgent problems that undermine one of America’s great strengths in the global economy -- our innovation and creativity".

He added that "In this time of economic uncertainty, we need to redouble our efforts to work with all of our trading partners -- even our closest allies and neighbors such as Canada -- to enhance protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in the context of a rules-based trading system."

The report states that "The increased availability of broadband Internet connections around the world has made the Internet an extremely efficient vehicle for disseminating copyright-infringing products. Internet piracy is a significant concern in a number of trading partners, including Canada, China, Greece, Hungary, Korea, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Unauthorized retransmission of live sports telecasts over the Internet continues to be a problem in many countries, particularly in China."

It continues that "piracy using new technologies is an emerging problem internationally. For example, U.S. copyright industries report growing problems with piracy using cellular telephones, palm devices, flash drives, and other mobile technologies. In some countries these devices are being pre-loaded with illegal content before they are sold. In addition to piracy of music and films using these new technologies, piracy of ring tones, games, and scanned books also occurs."

5/6. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced in a release that Ken Glazer, Senior Deputy Director of the Bureau of Competition, "plans to leave the FTC this month".

5/6. President Obama nominated Tara O'Toole to be Under Secretary for Science & Technology at the Department of Homeland Security.

5/4. The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Antitrust Division and Consolidated Multiple Listing Services filed a proposed final judgment and stipulation with the U.S. District Court (DSCar) in USA v. CMLS.
