      abstract = {This book addresses the growing importance of trade  secrets in today's society and business and the related  increase in litigation, media and scholarly attention.  Written by a team of international experts, it uses the new  EU Trade Secrets Directive as a prism through which to  discuss the complex legal issues involved.  Featuring both  EU and wider international perspectives, chapters examine  the Directive’s aim of harmonizing legislation on the  protection of trade secrets across the EU, and discuss how  this has been implemented by member states. Contributors  also explore the effects of the new regime on contentious  issues and crucial sectors such as medicine, big data and  AI, as well as considering its relationship with US law in  particular.  Scholars and students of patent law,  innovation, and EU law and governance, particularly those  with an interest in the topic of information freedom, will  find this book of great significance in their research.  Practitioners working in trade secrets and intellectual  property more broadly will also find this book’s  comprehensive analysis of the Directive and its practical  implications invaluable.},
