LAW 499 Intellectual Property: Trade Secrets Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] Environmental Law: Clean Tech Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] as a Key Elective : It is important for environmental lawyers to have an understanding of IP law. A frequent issue in employment disputes, particularly for companies developing innovative technologies, is the relative ownership of intellectual property created during employment. These disputes are often triggered when a former employee is hired by another company or seeks to exploit new technology in his or her own venture. Students should consider taking Intro to IP and/or IP:Trade Secrets for an overview of these issues. General course Description: Industry increasingly emphasizes technology as a means of achieving efficiency and competitive success. The law must provide an environment that encourages commercial investment in research but that also protects an individual's right to change employment or compete directly with a former employer. This course is designed to explore the theoretical and practical aspects of protecting information as a trade secret. It examines the basic legal doctrines and social issues which define this field, and will address the process of trade secret litigation. It focuses on a number of topics of current interest, such as state and federal legislation, "inevitable disclosure," non-competition agreements, defining trade secrets, criminal sanctions, and internal enforcement. Course Style: A Substantive/Statutory course deals with law, theory, and policy in the context of a particular code or statutory scheme. |
