Webinar Series: Trade Secrets are Not Intellectual Property – At Least Not in the European Union

Webinar | 02.11.20, 6:00 AM EST - 7:00 AM EST

This webinar will guide you through the small differences in the language and theory behind the EU Trade Secrets Directive and the US Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), and the important consequences these have on your trade secrets protection and strategy.
