This one-hour seminar will discuss the recent evolution — and increasing importance — of trade secret law for businesses. After decades of stability, trade secrets are evolving in ways that will be significant to your organization. This seminar will cover:

• The coming federalization of trade secret law, including the House and Senate bills to make trade secret laws uniform nationally and to provide for domestic and foreign protections;
• The rising importance of the International Trade Commission in enforcing trade secret misappropriation claims, including by blocking imports at U.S. borders with exclusion orders; and
• The changing landscape of damages awards in trade secret cases, and what steps to take to maximize damages at the outset.

Speakers:

• Janet Craycroft, Director of Legal Counseling, Intel
• Dawn Hall, Managing Director, FTI Consulting
• Scott Oliver, Partner, Morrison Foerster LLP
