Avoiding Early Landmines in Trade Secret Litigation

Trade secret litigation is a powerful tool. Victorious plaintiffs can obtain not only damages, but also injunctive relief to prevent competitors or former employees from leveraging key technologies, data, or know-how. With so much at stake, defendants are incentivized to disrupt or even dismantle trade secret cases in the early stages. In this webinar, Finnegan litigators will examine numerous types of pitfalls that can foil a trade secret complaint, and suggest how to avoid these pitfalls so the trade secret litigation can proceed with full force.

Discussion will include:

• Trade secret ownership
• Forum selection
• Venue challenges
• Extraterritoriality concerns
• Sufficiency of allegations
• Preemption of related causes of action
