Intellectual Property Theft a Growing Threat

Elizabeth Lee

   LAS VEGAS - Intellectual property theft is a growing concern, and it
   poses a real risk at large conferences where people from around the
   world are gathered, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said recently.

   David Eagleman was one of more than 175,000 people at the Consumer
   Electronics Show held earlier this month in Las Vegas. He is a Stanford
   neuroscientist who co-founded a company that creates a wristband that
   helps the hearing-impaired hear through their skin.

   The device was produced after years of research, so Eagleman wanted it
   well-protectedglobally.
