Eps 27 Linkedin Live: Trade Secrets: The Hidden Intellectual Property
Shining Some Light on Trade Secrets
In Episode 27 of the Hourly to Exit Podcast, we hear a recording of a recent LinkedIn Live session by Erin, in which she breaks down the major elements of a confusing but critical area of Intellectual Property (IP) law: Trade Secrets.
Unlike the other three major areas of IP law – copyright, trademark, and patent- Trade Secrets aren’t registered to be protected. Quite the opposite. In this episode, you will learn:
The difference between Trade Secrets and Confidential Information
What are the key elements that makeup a Trade Secret
Some critical steps to take to protect a Trade Secret
Why having something qualify as a Trade Secret matters
It was a lot to learn in a short, informative session, which means that if you are trying to decide what to do about your potential trade secrets, you may want to contact Erin for a consultation.

As always, podcast episodes provide general information only. So if you have specific copyright questions, I strongly urge you to consult with your IP attorney. If you aren’t sure where to start, contact me for a consultation.
