Overview
Why You Should Attend
Trade secrets can be among an organization’s most valuable assets – when you know how to identify, protect, and safely share them. Trade secrets law can protect cutting edge new technologies, improvements to mature technologies, and a host of valuable technical and strategic information in between. But misappropriation and claims of misappropriation can derail an organization’s business strategies—on both sides of the “v”. They can even lead to criminal exposure and liability. Judgments in the scores of millions of dollars and even more are becoming increasingly common. So are reversals. The importance of trade secrets law and the potential risks to trade secrets is magnified when employees and consultants who have become immersed in trade secrets move among multiple players in the industry, or even just work remotely. But trade secret disputes are not confined to the realm of migratory employees. Increasingly, sharing trade secrets when considering potential mergers, acquisitions, and business collaborations can bring great opportunity. It can also place information and business at great risk. To maximize value and reduce risk from trade secrets, organizations must stay on top of the latest developments. This program brings together experts and thought leaders in the field to help you do just that.
