On June 10, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern, Erik Weibust and
Michael Kippins will be presenting a free webinar for the Boston
Bar Association entitled "Protecting Trade Secrets in the Face
of Remote Workforces, New Technology, and Laid Off
Employees.".
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and in response to what
many are calling the "new normal," companies have rolled
out new (and often unsecure) technology, and have relaxed existing
security measures in the name of efficiency and convenience. As
companies continue to adapt to these rapidly changing
circumstances, they may inadvertently place the protection of their
trade secrets on the backburner. However, if companies want to
maintain control over their most important intangible assets, they
must affirmatively act to protect their trade secrets during the
pandemic and as the economy continues to reopen.
During this webinar, Erik and Michael will discuss heightened
threats to trade secrets as a result of COVID-19; what constitutes
"reasonable measures" to protect trade secrets in this
new environment; enforcing non-competes during times of high
unemployment; preparing for and pursuing trade secret litigation
while courts are largely shut down; and succeeding in a
post-pandemic world.
Additional information and registration can be found here.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
