The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Waymo v. Uber: DTSA Test Tube" on March 15, 2018 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Diane Danoff of Dechert LLP; James Pooley of James Pooley, PLC; and Barbara Reeves of JAMS will examine the recently-settled trade secret action Waymo v. Uber as a test case for the new federal trade secret law, the DTSA, and also analyze other recent cases in other federal courts, illustrating how the risks of using the DTSA to bring suit compares to the benefits. The panel will discuss how:
• Federal judges have been making rigorous demands for specificity of TS description, both at the pleading stage and at the gateway to discovery.
• Federal courts are more likely than state courts to challenge experts and theories of harm.
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.
