Trade secrets are among the oldest and most-well known forms of intellectual property (IP) protection. Whether the formula for a multibillion-dollar soft drink, the algorithm behind a popular search engine, or one of many “secret sauces�� found in restaurants, trade secrets provide businesses of all shapes and sizes with a competitive advantage in the marketplace. This is particularly true in cutting-edge industries, where innovation happens rapidly and protecting a company’s research and development efforts is crucial. Accordingly, it is essential for researchers working in these fields to have a working knowledge of how trade secrets work, how they are protected, and how they interact with other forms of IP protection, such as patents.

Join a group of experienced IP professionals from the global law firm Goodwin to explore how trade secrets are protected, lost, and weaponized in modern scientific research. They will provide a scientist-focused overview of trade secrets, the strategic business questions they present, and how they can form an essential part of a company’s overall IP portfolio. From high-stakes transactions to bet-the-company lawsuits, we’ll share real-world insights on success stories and strategies to avoid costly missteps. If you lead a company built on innovation, you can’t afford to miss this.
