The federal law protecting trade secrets is celebrating its first birthday, and this webinar will give an update on how the Defend Trade Secrets Act has evolved in practice. Our panel — an in-house IP counsel at a technology company, a trade secrets litigator, and an employment law litigator — will disclose and analyze the record so far, give advice, and make predictions. Among the topics to be discussed are:
- Pleading requirements under the DTSA;
- Definition of trade secret and misappropriation;
- Sealing of complaints;
- Preliminary injunctions and TROs;
- Seizure;
- How are the parallel systems of state and federal law working out in practice?
- Is the DTSA the best tool against international trade secret theft?
- Are employers implementing the mandatory disclosure of employee rights in confidentiality agreements?
- Have whistleblowers used the immunity provisions?
