Protecting Trade Secrets in the Digital Age

Electronic Misappropriation: New Strategies for Emerging Vulnerabilities

CD/DVD of a 90-minute CLE teleconference with Q&A

Conducted on Wednesday, September 5, 2007
Now available on CD/DVD

Description

Ensuring the confidentiality of a company’s highly valued trade secrets is critical. Most business information is stored in electronic form and can be easily 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 authoritative 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.

Benefits

The panel will review 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?
