Your patent strategy is optimized and your business is running smoothly – until an employee goes rogue and steals one of your trade secrets. What should you do to mitigate the damage and salvage your secret?

In this webinar, our team will walk you through a realistic scenario and discuss matters related to:

  • Implementing the preliminary and emergency measures available in key jurisdictions, including Canada, the US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, Dubai, Singapore and China
  • Tracking a thief and preventing disclosure of your trade secret – particularly to competitors
  • Causes of action as defined by global trade secret and copyright laws, from physical property theft to unauthorized access of digital data
  • Mobilizing civil procedure through methods such as search and seizure orders and the engagement of government enforcement agencies

This is the fifth installment in our Lifecycle of a Smart Idea series, dedicated to helping you maximise opportunity and minimise risk when taking innovative ideas to the global market. Watch more from the series »
