Ohio State Bar Presents Trade Secret Protection Tips

Using Litigation to Protect Your Client's Trade Secrets is the title of an upcoming program being hosted by the Ohio State Bar Association on Wednesday, December 10. Located at the Receptions Conference Center, 5975 Boymel Drive, Fairfield, Ohio, the seminar will begin at 8:30 a.m. and continue until 11:45 a.m.

It has been estimated that Fortune 1000 companies may lose as much as $45 billion a year from the theft of trade secrets, and may be spending as much as $2 billion per year to spy on one another. Based on these stakes, litigation has become the critical tool to confront the threat of industrial espionage.

John F. Marsh, Hahn Loeser & Parks LLP, will walk attending lawyers and corporate counsel through maximizing the tool of litigation by using a practical, step-by-step approach to litigating trade secret, corporate espionage and "mass exodus" disputes.

Topics to be addressed include the basics of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, temporary restraining orders as a critical tool, preliminary injunctions, and recent developments in trade secret law.
