Summary
"Innumerable trade secret cases are being filed in courts across the country. Both high-tech and low-tech industries must guard against the possibility of trade secret misappropriation. Who Owns Innovation? is a ground-breaking reference for managers, technology professionals, and corporate counsel that identified what information can be considered trade secret, explores the difference between an employee's knowledge and proprietary company information, discusses contractual arrangements between employer and employee that are designed to protect proprietary information, explains how proprietary information should be protected, and instructs the departing employee how to avoid violating his employer's legal rights. In the light of the high turnover of trained technology professionals, employers and employees must understand their rights and obligations regarding trade secrets. Who Owns Innovation? now makes it possible." -- Back cover.
