We go into a deeper dive look reviewing issues around Trade Secrets, Trademarks, and Copyrights.
A trade secret is business information that is not publicly known and brings economic benefits to the owner, for which the owner has adopted reasonable measures to maintain its confidentiality. Information such as customer and supplier lists, financial data, business plans, product formulas, manufacturing processes, marketing strategies, computer source code, and pricing information are often kept as trade secrets. An inventor may choose to protect technology as a trade secret rather than obtaining a patent. Trade secrets may be protected indefinitely so long as the information remains secret. If the secret is revealed, trade secret protection ceases. This webinar will discuss simple means for protection of trade secrets, the differences between patents and trade secrets, and trade secret misappropriation.
