About This Course

Designed to protect against those who wrongfully disclose, receive or exploit another’s trade secrets, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) not only protects intellectually property but is self-protective against its own misuse. This CLE course will explain how the UTSA was crafted and dissect the Act to explain how to utilize it and how it’s been implemented in key interpretative cases. The course will include background on its development by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and explore its relationship to other civil and criminal laws that govern IP theft. The course will explain its adoption by all but two states and familiarize attendees with how and when to apply and utilize the law.
