Description:
This program will address how to bring a trade secret claim against a
non-U.S. defendant when the core misconduct occurs overseas. The
panelists will also discuss the possibility of bringing an action under
state trade secret law or the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016,
an action under Section 337 action in the International Trade
Commission, and/or requesting that governmental authorities pursue a
criminal action. Other possibilities which will be addressed include
pursuing litigation in the country where the defendant is located or
arbitration where there is an applicable arbitration provision (such as
with a dispute arising out of a joint venture) or where the parties
agree to arbitrate after the dispute arises.
