Overview
Why You Should Attend:
IP Discussions with Joshua Simmons is a series of conversations hosted by nationally recognized intellectual property litigator, Joshua Simmons. Each month, Josh is joined by a panel of IP luminaries, leading scholars, and industry insiders. Together, they examine major topics and events in a civil, roundtable format.
Given changes in the legal status of restrictive employment agreements, as well as limitations of other intellectual property disciplines, trade secrets have become a critical way that companies protect their confidential information. To rely on the protections afforded by trade secret law, however, a company must first create information and take reasonable steps to protect it. The requirements for such protection and the extent to which the law will protect it, although largely harmonized in the United States, involves certain jurisdictional distinctions.
