Broadcast Date: Wednesday, May 08, 2019 from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm (ET)

Intellectual Property Law (CLE), Recording

Overview:

Trade secret litigation in the Federal Courts has grown rigorously high since the developments in trade secret litigation analytics. With the continuously evolving trends and developments surrounding this area of law, the risk of trade secret misappropriation also increases. However, under the Defend Trade Secret Act (DTSA), recovering misappropriated trade secrets from former employees through ex parte seizure orders could be a great help in addressing such a situation.

In order to prevent misappropriated trade secrets dissemination and as well as to provide a strategic approach in pursuing misappropriation cases, companies should be up to date of the recent trends and developments in trade secret litigation.

Listen as a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with the latest and significant issues in trade secret litigation.
