Trade Secret Theft – Protecting the Crown Jewels
March 25, 2015
Winston & Strawn hosted an eLunch titled “Trade Secret Theft – Protecting the Crown Jewels” on Wednesday, March 25, 2015, from 12:15 – 1:30 p.m. (Central).
The theft of trade secrets and other confidential information occurs all too frequently in today’s global, highly mobile, competitive marketplace. Ensuring that effective preventative measures are in place is essential to minimizing the risk of a data breach. At the same time, it is critical that companies act quickly and decisively to protect their trade secrets when employees move from one employer to another.
Recently in the news, a former engineer of a global financial institution received a 3-year sentence for downloading thousands of files onto his personal computer containing the company’s intellectual property, despite its strict policies regarding how its employees may handle the company’s confidential information and intellectual property. So what happens when your preventive measures aren’t enough and the information is stolen?
Topics covered include the following:
- Protecting Your Trade Secrets
- Conducting a Trade Secret Theft Investigation
- Working with FBI and Law Enforcement After Information is Stolen
- Civil Remedies for Trade Secret Theft
