The Stakes Are Greater Than Ever With the Continuing Explosion of Cases
This is a “watershed” year to attend our 7th Annual Conference. Action is percolating on many fronts. The distinguished group of panelists we have assembled are all involved in cutting edge trade secrets matters. They will provide a comprehensive analysis of the latest trends and developments.
The federal, magistrate judges and state judge on the panel have handled a large number of trade secrets cases. The Judges’ panel will explain the latest rulings and practices. The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s office have seen an uptick in cases too. Also our panelists from firms and companies will share their perspectives and insights on the latest case law and what it means as well as what best practices they are seeing for protecting sensitive information.
In The Spotlight: New Damages Theories, Recent Cases
The panel of damages experts will explain new damages theories of causation, “unjust enrichment claims”, apportioning damages, and “undisclosed value.” The new theories are becoming more common. Key recent cases we will examine include: Syntel v. Trizetto; Appian v. Pegasystems; Versata v Ford; Motorola v. Hytera; Masimo v. Apple; Epic Systems v. TCS; PPG Industries, Inv. v. Jiangsu Tie Mao Glass Co.; Advanced Fluid Systems v. Huber; Olaplex v. L’Oreal
Key topics include defining trade secrets, using AI in discovery, research as well as cybersecurity and trade secrets; managing the risk of departing employees, patent vs trade secrets issues; and restrictions on enforcement of employee non-solicitation, non-compete agreements. The panel will also discuss practical issues, company counsel confronted every day: protection of trade secrets, reasonable efforts and the importance of contracts.
