Embracing The Whistleblower: Practical Applications and Emerging Issues in the Defend Trade Secrets Act

 

Description:

 

When the DTSA became law two years ago, it was described by Forbes as the “biggest IP development in years,” yet many companies that depend on trade secret protection for everything from algorithms and formulae to product plans and customer lists have not updated their approach. Equally important, recent litigation attacks on trade secret protection based on state law have threatened some of the largest tech companies’ trade secret protection programs.
This webinar will discuss the DTSA and recent trends affecting trade secret protection from a practical perspective. Suggestions and approaches to take full advantage of the DTSA, and to reduce risk of losing trade secret protection based on recent litigation will be provided. The webinar will provide valuable information for in-house counsel, IP counsel, HR managers, and entrepreneurs.
