Today, many companies are opting to protect their intellectual property through trade secrets rather than patent portfolios. This trend is particularly notable in the computer and software industries, in which patents may not provide strong protection for important assets based on economic, business, and financial data. Thus, it is important for companies in these industries to understand the current landscape of trade secret law.
In this webinar, a panel of IP attorneys will provide an overview of the current trade secret law, discuss advantages and disadvantages of protecting IP through trade secrets, and address pre-litigation and litigation strategies for enforcing trade secrets. For each topic, the panel will examine recent high-profile trade secret cases to identify success tips and common mistakes companies make in litigating trade secret cases.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Overview of the U.S. trade secret law
- Trade secrets vs. patents
- Strategic considerations
