2020 Defend Trade Secrets Act Litigation Update

It's been four years since the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA) created a new pathway for parties to sue in federal court for trade secret misappropriation. Over that time, several new developments have arisen under the DTSA, including important case law dealing with the scope of trade secret protection, jurisdiction, damages, and other remedies. Join experienced intellectual property litigator Christopher Loh as he covers these new developments, provides best practices and potential pitfalls when litigating under the DTSA, and teaches lessons based on the past four years of DTSA law on how employers can protect themselves from trade secret misappropriation.
