Other important topics that will be covered include lessons from mega-verdicts in trade secret cases in 2025, an overview of New York trade secrets law vs. the DTSA, drafting restrictive covenants and other agreements to protect trade secrets, the latest on FTC and New York AG enforcement actions, seeking expedited relief when misuse is unclear, the perspective of forensics experts in trade secret litigation, and ethical issues in trade secret cases.
