Скачать или смотреть [Technical Session] Defend your trade secrets

Protecting trade secrets is a top priority for companies expanding business into global arena, collaborating with CROs and CDMOs, etc. Trade secret litigation in the United States has grown increasingly prominent, including in the life sciences industry. The uptick in trade secret litigation can, at least in part, be attributed to the introduction of the Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”) in 2016, which provides access to federal courts for trade secret claims and can have broad extraterritorial effect. In addition, we may see a further increase in trade secret litigation due to the so-called Great Resignation, where record numbers of employees left their jobs for new ones, often with competitors. This session will discuss the DTSA, its applicability to non-U.S. entities and activities, available remedies, and best practices for protecting trade secrets and protecting against claims of trade secret misappropriation.
