The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "New EU Trade Secrets Directive: What Does It Mean for IP Owners?" on June 9, 2016 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Audra Dial of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, James Pooley of James Pooley PLC, and Mark Ridgway of Allen & Overy LLP will discuss and compare the EU Trade Secrets Directive and the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act and give advice on what their implementation means for U.S. companies. Topics to be discussed by the panel include "long-arm" provisions, which make it unlawful for a person who was aware or should have been aware of a trade secret theft to offer for sale infringing goods, and could offer a way to ban imports; protections for whistleblowers; and procedures to keep trade secrets private during enforcement and litigation.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
