3.3 Shhh… I’ve Got a Secret! How to Stop Others from Spilling the Beans

Tuesday, August 19, 9:00 – 10:30

Trade secrets are a form of intellectual property that can sometimes be the best way of protecting a company's intangible assets. However, with more people moving from one company to another, more mergers and acquisitions, and more pressure to seek joint venture or other business relationships, it can be difficult to ensure trade secrets are not used to jump-start the business of a competing entity. The panelists will explore practical ways to prevent trade secrets from leaving the door with departing employees or managers, or as a result of a business deal.
