This two-day program, focusing on trade secret law, will examine some of an organization’s most valuable assets, from cutting-edge technologies to profit-enhancing improvements and beyond. The first half-day session will cover the fundamentals of trade secret law and the laws governing the creation, identification, and protection of trade secrets—including the drafting of agreements governing trade secret use and remedies for misappropriation. The second half-day session will be a more in-depth analysis of trade secrets litigation, mega-verdicts, and recent federal enforcement of restrictive covenant agreements deemed to be violations of the antitrust laws. The panels will include esteemed judges, in-house counsel, representatives from government agencies, and top practitioners examining both the plaintiff and defense side of the law. IP lawyers, employment lawyers, general counsel, and executives should attend.

Wilson Sonsini partner Amy Candido will serve as a panelist for the program “Know Your Worth: Assessing Damages in Trade Secret and Non-compete Disputes” at 12:15 p.m. ET.
