AIPLA Trade Secrets Conference: Cybersecurity & Protecting
Trade Secrets I always attend the AIPLA's annual Trade Secret
Law Summit, where cutting edge trade secret law issues are
discussed. I always come away with a plethora of valuable insights
from these conferences. The following are a few takeaways from the
conference in San Diego:
For Starters: A good legal advisor will counsel his or her
clients to implement appropriate measures to protect company trade
secrets. There are lots of steps companies can take, but the
following "motto" is a simple and catchy way to help
companies think about how to protect their trade secrets:
"State it, Stamp it, Secure it, Shred it, Sign it, Supplement
it, and Substantiate it." A shout-out to Russell Beck and
Hannah Joseph with Beck Reed Riden in Boston for coming up with
this useful motto!
