Carlyn Irwin of Cornerstone Research will join a panel of experts for a virtual roundtable discussion focused on recent developments and trends in trade secret litigation.
Panelists will discuss recent developments in trade secret cases, particularly under the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), as well as practical tips for confronting remedies issues in litigation.
Key topics will include:
- The recent circuit split regarding the availability of a defendant’s avoided costs as unjust enrichment damages under the DTSA
- Best practices for determining reasonable royalties, including the applicability of patent/copyright concepts and M&A valuation approaches
- The courts’ increasing use of patent law “apportionment” concepts in trade secret cases
- Potential remedies with respect to state entities (e.g., universities and hospitals) with sovereign immunity
This virtual event is hosted by the Section of Litigation and the Business Torts & Unfair Competition Programs Subcommittee of the American Bar Association (ABA). For more information, visit the event website.
