October 2: Webcast - Texas’ New Trade Secret Law: How Your Trade Secret Protection Strategy Should Have Changed After Labor Day #MCLE

Effective September 1, 2013, the Texas Uniform Trade Secret Act implements important changes to Texas’ trade secret law and makes available new strategic options for protecting trade secrets and pursuing those who misappropriate them.  If your business’ know-how is important, you will not want to miss this opportunity to be caught up on how to protect your company’s most valuable assets under the new law.
You will learn about:

• Substantive changes in trade secret law
• Tools to use in guarding against misappropriation before it happens
• Strategies for seeking injunctions while protecting client information at the courthouse
• Tactics on how to make the other side pay fees and litigation costs
• Ways to avoid inadvertent liability for misappropriation by a new hire 

You will benefit the most from this discussion if you:

• Have employees in Texas who work with confidential company information and trade secrets;
• Manage trade secret litigation in Texas or advise executives about whether to initiate it;
• Have responsibility for managing information security or implementing related policies;
• Answer HR questions about confidentiality agreements or employee questions about “the need for these confidentiality agreements”;
• Decide whether to seek outside counsel’s advice when departing employees join your competition; or
• Want to effectively issue-spot the next trade secret misappropriation case before it gets filed.
