Understanding Your Contracts: Reducing Trade Secret Risk Through Review and Modification of Contracts

Webinar, Hosted By Michael Best & Friedrich LLP


Thursday, July 28, 2016 - 7:00 AM


Forty-eight states have adopted the Uniform Trade Secret Act, which provides robust protection of trade secrets. The trick for businesses is to ensure their confidential information will enjoy protection under trade secret law at some uncertain date in the future. Trade secret law requires businesses to take "reasonable" steps to maintain the secrecy of their information, especially in contractual relationships. The challenge is to create language which will trigger trade secret protection but not impair business relationships and contractual functioning. In this webinar, Attorney Eric H. Rumbaugh will provide practical steps businesses can take to review their contracts and rubrics for reviewing, revising and improving contracts to improve trade secret protection, without impairing business flow.
