The Current State of Trade Secret Law and How the New Federal Statute Will Shape the Landscape

Presentation

San Diego Partner Boris Zelkind presented on the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA) to the San Diego Intellectual Property Law Association.

On Wednesday, May 11, President Barack Obama signed into law the Defend Trade Secrets Act, which creates federal right of action for trade secret misappropriation. The DTSA will open up the federal courts to trade secrets owners and help harmonize trade secrets law across the nation. With the expansion of trade secrets protection, businesses need to evaluate whether this type of intellectual property protection is well suited for their innovations and business information.

This presentation will take you through the 9 differences between the DTSA and traditional trade secret laws.
