In Search of the Ideal IP Portfolio: Balancing Patents & Trade Secrets *
Despite the fragility of trade secrets, which could literally cease to exist at any moment upon the secret being let out, trade secrets are an increasingly important part of any intellectual property portfolio. This is even more so today with it being more obvious than ever that data itself—and the insights that can be drawn from data—is often more valuable than any innovation or technology.
This panel will discuss portfolio building best practices, from identifying valuable information that can and should be protected, to choosing whether to pursue patent protection (and if so, on what specifically and what kind of patent), to actually properly protecting the valuable business information and data as a trade secret. Among other things, the panel will discuss proper identification, cataloguing, and protection of information and data as trade secrets. The panel will also discuss the role of defensive publication as an alternative to either trade secrets or patents.
