Identify Trade Secrets in Litigation (On-Demand)

Course Description

With non-compete agreements falling into disfavor with both the states and the federal government, employers increasingly seek to protect their intangible assets through trade secret laws. But because trade secrets protect intangible assets, a plaintiff must identify the metes and bounds of the alleged secret and articulate why its information is entitled to trade secret protection. Most lawyers are ill equipped to make the required identification. This seminar will discuss the critical strategies you must implement to win your trade secret case.
