Description
U.S. businesses have seen an alarming growth in cyberattacks on their most sensitive and valuable information and intellectual property. Trade secrets are a key target. Counsel should guide business clients in developing and implementing data security policies and practices to safeguard both the clients' own trade secrets and the trade secrets of their customers and commercial partners, which the company may have either an express or implied obligation to keep safe from attacks. If a business is the victim of a cyberattack, counsel must act promptly to limit the harm to the client and its business relationships, comply with reporting obligations, cooperate with law enforcement, and lay the foundation for a successful claim for insurance coverage.
Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys examines what steps should be taken to protect trade secrets. The panel will also discuss how to mitigate losses if a cyberattack occurs and navigate the legal response a company can and should take.
