Trade Secret Law: New Technologies and Other Challenges
October 26, 2011
Menlo Park
Today’s cloud-computing, mobile, and social-networking technologies bring competitive advantages as well as challenges to preserving trade secrets. These and other technological advances—and their continued evolvement—present numerous opportunities for inadvertent loss of intellectual property rights. Companies need to understand the threats posed by these technologies when left unmanaged and how to navigate through the legal issues and possible options in safeguarding their interests.
Please join our panelists as they discuss:
• How new technologies threaten to erode the scope of trade secrets protections
• Cloud computing as the latest challenge to the boundaries of trade secret law
• Why smart phones call for smart ways of managing the distribution of sensitive business information
• How the inevitable social networks can make companies’ sensitive business information public
• Whether traditional cloud-service, mobile-service, and employment agreements offer the needed protections
