Webinar Series: Trade Secrets are Not Intellectual Property – At Least Not in the European Union

Webinar | 02.11.20, 6:00 AM EST - 7:00 AM EST

Trade secrets are not intellectual property – at least not in the European Union (EU) under the EU Trade Secrets Directive. How are trade secrets defined in the EU vs the US? How do the US and EU judicial bodies differ in their view of trade secrets, and how does that protect, or leave vulnerable, your company’s most valuable information? How might cross-border (or transnational) companies protect their intellectual property assets and prepare for threats when subject to dual (EU/US) enforcement?


This webinar will guide you through the small differences in the language and theory behind the EU Trade Secrets Directive and the US Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), and the important consequences these have on your trade secrets protection and strategy.

State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
