Overview
Why You Should Attend
Trade secrets can be among an organization’s most valuable assets. Trade secrets law can protect cutting edge technologies, improvements to mature technologies, new combinations of well-known information 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 for acts in the U.S. and abroad. Judgments in the scores of millions of dollars and even more are becoming increasingly common. So are appeals, reversals, and retrials.
New technologies, including generative AI, can create or destroy trade secrets. Some techniques for protecting trade secrets, especially noncompete agreements, are under substantial debate domestically. New techniques for managing and obtaining value from trade secrets are being developed globally. To maximize value and reduce risk organizations must stay on top of the latest developments. This full day program brings together experts and thought leaders in the field to help you do just that.
