Remedies. 000040752 520__ $$aIn the increasingly knowledge- and innovation-based economy in which the mobility of the workforce is vital, employees and ex-employees are considered to be one of the biggest threats to the existence of trade secrets. The interests of the former parties to the employment relationship are contradictory: employers want to safeguard their competitive position by limiting use of information, and employees want to use that information to pursue their professional career. Magdalena Kolasa analyses existing guidelines that determine the extent to which former employees may use information learned during service. She proposes criteria for a balanced enforcement of trade secrets, discussing the statutory and implicit confidentiality duties, contractual protection, and remedies. Drawing from the laws of Germany, UK, and USA, and considering the EU Trade Secrets Directive, this book advocates an approach which recognises the value and functions of trade secrecy both within companies and in the context of public policy. Contributes to an important field of law neglected in legal research Presents a comparative analysis of major developments in Europe (EU Trade Secrets Directive) and the USA (Defend Trade Secrets Act) Discusses a large number of court decisions and various scenarios to inform those practising in the field as well as legislators 000040752 650_0 $$aLaw$$xIntellectual Property 000040752 655_4 $$aElectronic books 000040752 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=5254291$$zView this Ebook 000040752 903__ $$aCambridge Intellectual Property and Information Law$$vno. 44 000040752 904__ $$aBook 000040752 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000040752 980__ $$aBIB 000040752 980__ $$aOS
