Likewise, Trade Secrets, a Practising Law Institute title, can give you a competitive advantage over your rivals in trade secret disputes, whether you represent plaintiffs or defendants.
Trade Secrets examines the major sources of trade secret law and pivotal court decisions to ensure you fully understand:
What is a 'trade secret"? What constitutes "trade secret misappropriation"?
How do the courts determine if information gives a "competitive advantage"?
What is "improper means"? "Wrongful use"? "Wrongful disclosure"?
When can a "stranger" be liable for misappropriation?
When is secrecy ended by disclosure?
Packed with checklists, case histories, hypothetical examples, sample documents, and excerpts from actual court testimony, Trade Secretsoffers the detailed guidance that can tip the balance in your clients' favor, showing you how to:
Develop effective trial plans;
Deploy intellectual property law to protect information;
Exploit the protective power of injunctions and constructive trusts;
Defeat prima facie cases and employ antitrust and preemption defenses;
Make the most of pleading and discovery procedures;
Make opening statements that help control the terms of each trial;
Maximize the probative and emotional impact of expert witnesses;
Use closing arguments as effective offensive and defensive weapons.
Keeping you current with the latest trade secrets issues related to digital technology, Trade Secrets shows you how various jurisdictions have tried to resolve complex legal tensions, such as plaintiffs' right to protection versus defendants' right of disclosure at trial -- plaintiffs' right to injunctive relief versus defendants' right to compete -- and federal law versus state-defined trade secret liability.
