Trade secret protections offer an appealing alternative to filing an expensive patent application, particularly in view of trends that have weakened patent rights in the United States. This webinar will arm IP owners and their attorneys with information to help set up an effective program for protecting trade secrets under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act and state trade secret laws. The presenters will discuss these topics, among others:

  • How to identify and classify trade secrets
  • Key features of a trade secret program
  • Actions needed to support an ongoing show of “reasonable efforts”

Presented by: Thomas Lebens of Fitch, Even, Tabin & Flannery LLP and Benjamin Fink of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C.
