Intangible assets make up 84 percent of the value of the S&P 500, up from 17 percent in 1975. With that rapid increase in value, companies increasingly must rely on trade secrets to protect their assets. This reliance has led to a dramatic escalation in trade secret litigation in both state and federal courts.

Because trade secrets protect intangible assets, a plaintiff must identify the metes and bounds of the alleged secret and articulate why its information is entitled to trade secret protection. Most lawyers are ill equipped to make the required identification. This seminar will discuss the critical strategies both plaintiff and defense counsel must implement to prevail in trade secret litigation.

After attending this webinar, you will be able to

  1. Implement the 5 W’s of trade secret identification
  2. Scrutinize the differences between trade secrets, confidential information, and general knowledge
  3. Recognize how Grandpa’s Syndrome distorts a company’s ability to identify its trade secrets
  4. Apply the appropriate detail to prove the existence and misappropriation of trade secrets
  5. Explain the catastrophic consequences of failing to properly identify trade secrets in litigation
