Trade Secrets: Protecting What Makes You Great

About This Webinar

A trade secret is a form of intellectual property that is wide ranging in scope in that it can cover any business information that a company takes reasonable steps to protect as confidential and that derives economic value by virtue of not being generally known. Many technology companies do not have a firm grasp of what information they maintain that can qualify for trade secret protection or a plan to protect valuable trade secrets from being disclosed to outsiders.
In this webinar, you will learn
• what types of information can qualify for trade secret protection
• how to inventory/track your trade secrets
• how to protect information that qualifies for trade secret protection
In addition, you will learn from forensic experts how to respond to trade secret misappropriation or data breaches through forensically sound efforts to preserve and collect electronic data to document a departing employee’s efforts to steal valuable company information and trade secrets.
