Shining Some Light on Trade Secrets

In Episode 27 of the Hourly to Exit Podcast, we hear a recording of a recent LinkedIn Live session by Erin, in which she breaks down the major elements of a confusing but critical area of Intellectual Property (IP) law: Trade Secrets. Unlike the other three major areas of IP law – copyright, trademark, and patent- Trade Secrets aren’t registered to be protected. Quite the opposite. In this episode, you will learn:

• The difference between Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
• What are the key elements that makeup a Trade Secret
• Some critical steps to take to protect a Trade Secret
• Why having something qualify as a Trade Secret matters

It was a lot to learn in a short, informative session, which means that if you are trying to decide what to do about your potential trade secrets, you may want to contact Erin for a consultation.
