10:25 AM THINK TANK: THE TRADE SECRET OF TRADE SECRETS – FOCUSING ON PROACTIVITY BEFORE THE STORM BREAKS

Most companies treat trade secrets like a ticking time bomb – no clear strategy and no tools to manage them. When something goes wrong, the damage can be significant, reason for which a shift from reactive fear to proactive control is becoming more and more necessary. But the journey is long: companies must firstly be able to define trade secrets internally and implement enough protective steps to ensure its secrecy – it is worth noting however that “enough” is still not very clearly defined either. Internal systems must therefore be built and real-world consequences must be clarified. 

-    Understand what qualifies as a trade secret and why it’s broader than you might think
-    Explore the consequences of mismanagement, from litigation to reputational damage and loss of protection
-    Learn keys ways to build a proactive strategy with internal controls, documentation, and awareness from multiple teams
