LAW 6953
Trade Secrets Law and Practice

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2022-2023.

This course will address the nature, protection, and defense of trade secrets, from their common law origins to their role in several recent high-profile cases.  We will do a deep dive into the different trade secret regimes at the state and federal level. We will review civil and criminal remedies and also examine how key international jurisdictions protect trade secrets (or not).  The goal of the course will be to develop an understanding of how trade secret protections work and how companies can guard their trade secrets in their interactions with investors, collaborators, customers, and competitors while steering clear of misappropriating the secrets of others.  We will also discuss the practicalities of trade secret litigation in the digital age.  

When Offered Spring.
