The new attorneys are a part of the US Justice Departments Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property programme. The FBI agents will be located with “intellectual property squads” in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington, DC, joining 31 other agents already in field offices, according to a press release. These “squads” are intended to focus on “hot spot areas,” the release added. In February, the United States announced the creation of a task force on IP (IPW, IP Burble, 12 February 2010).
