This book offers an authoritative and unparalleled resource on US and international trade secret law and identifies optimal practices for securing trade secrets in varying jurisdictions. Defined as the international standard for trade secret protection, the United States’ trade secret laws are explained in depth, illustrating their capacity and impediments. The proposed EU Trade Secret Directive and the impact this will have on international transactions is also closely examined, along with overviews of the laws in common law, civil law and mixed-law countries. The book combines detailed substantive analysis with clear practical guidance on questions such as how businesses can avoid misappropriation and maintain data exclusivity when engaging in global commerce, through the utilization of alternative self-help strategies. Key features: • Presents a roadmap for understanding trade secrets, including requirements for, defences to, and remedies. • Covers both business-to-business and employment relationships. • Authoritative commentary on US and EU trade secrecy laws in addition to coverage of the UK, India, China, Mexico, Brazil, Canada and Japan. • Dependable analysis from two leading scholars in the field. • Practical advice on overcoming the challenges businesses face when engaging in international transactions, including strategies for avoiding misappropriation. • Clear guidance on enforcement mechanisms and litigation procedure.

Policymakers will find the definition of trade secret law characteristics for multiple countries, alongside the consideration of the proposed EU Trade Secret Directive, pragmatic and informative. 000040948 650_0 $$aTrade secrets$$xLaw and legislation. 000040948 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000040948 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781782540779.xml$$yView eBook 000040948 903__ $$aElgar Intellectual Property Law and Practice series 000040948 904__ $$aBook 000040948 980__ $$aOS
