The Changing Shape of Trade Secret Trials: Increasing Shift to Juries - Quickwebcast

Last year, juries awarded $2 billion to Appian Corp., $65 million against Goodyear Tire & Rubber and $105 million against Ford Motor Company in high profile trade secret cases. These big verdicts signal a potentially significant shift away from how trade secret cases have been traditionally litigated, as employers have previously relied on injunctions to prevent employees and others from taking their trade secrets. This presentation will address this potential paradigm shift in trade secret litigation and help trade secret owners and their lawyers better understand the forces contributing to this important development and what clients and lawyers should be doing to adapt to these changes.
