Ensuring the confidentiality of a company’s highly valued trade secrets is critical. Most business information is stored in electronic form and can easily be transmitted, greatly increasing the vulnerability of these assets.
Companies must update and develop new policies and procedures to guard against theft and misappropriation of their trade secrets, which can be taken via email, stored and stolen on an easily hidden flash drive, or photographed and sent by cell phone.
Listen as our panel examines how attorneys can advise their clients or companies on best practices to protect company trade secrets and ensure the confidentiality of these important business assets.
The panel reviewed these and other key questions:
- What policies and procedures should every company have in place to identify risks and protect its trade secrets?
- What current state and federal laws and court precedents offer relevant guidance in advising clients on how to protect their trade secrets?
- How can trade secret policies effectively address emerging vulnerabilities related to employees and electronic workplace issues?
- What are the critical elements of a multi-faceted trade secrets' protection program?
The panel includes:
Ashlie Beringer, Of Counsel, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, Denver. She focuses on IP, entertainment and media law litigation. She has successfully represented clients in trade secrets disputes, as well as complex patent, copyright and trademark disputes.
Eric W. Hagen, Partner, McDermott Will & Emery, Los Angeles. He is a member of the Intellectual Property, Media & Technology Department. He counsels clients in managing complex commercial cases involving patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights. He recently represented the petitioners in the student free speech case before the U.S. Supreme Court, Morse v. Frederick (06-278), commonly known as the "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" case.
William L. Roberts, Partner, Faegre & Benson, Minneapolis. He specializes in complex IP and commercial litigation, including patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and unfair competition. He also has achieved litigation results in preliminary and permanent injunctions against trade secret misappropriation and trademark infringement, and damages recoveries in patent cases.
