Trade secret owners are faced with a myriad of issues, especially with the increasingly global marketplace. Business owners and leaders must address the risk of outright theft of their intellectual property by competitors or would-be competitors. International communication networks that make the theft of trade secrets as easy as pushing the “send” button magnify this trend. This interactive workshop will allow the attendees to work in groups and act as business leaders facing a trade secret crisis in their companies. The attendees will then choose how to address their crisis and which legal actions to take. Each team will take turns presenting their strategy to the entire group and, if necessary, the presenter will make recommendations for additional ways the teams could have protected their trade secrets.
