      title = {Cross-Border Trade Secret Disputes in the European Union :  jurisdiction and applicable law /},
      abstract = {In today’s data-driven economy, it is essential for  companies to protect their trade secrets against unlawful  acquisition,use and disclosure; with the ease of digital  communications, employee migration and international trade,  trade secret violations now often occur across national  borders. This book examines how trade secret protection can  differ across jurisdictions, where trade secret holders can  bring proceedings, and which country’s law is applicable.   Lundstedt provides a European perspective, analysing how  the EU’s rules on jurisdiction and applicable law relate  to the EU’s wider objectives on encouraging cross-border  innovation activities. Using common trade secret scenarios  as a springboard for analysis, this book questions whether  EU private international law rules can be interpreted to  facilitate the objectives of the EU Trade Secret Directive  and in doing so it sets out a detailed examination of both  regimes.  Providing a clear and comprehensive perspective  on a complex area of law, this book will be valuable for  scholars of private international law, intellectual  property law and EU law. Due to its practical approach to  analysis, it will also be useful for policy makers and  legal practitioners seeking information about uncertainties  that exist in the current law.},
