As reported in the Business/Business Briefs section of The Frederick News-Post (Saturday, March 22, 2014), George W. Cox of IP & Business Law Counseling, LLC will provide a basic understanding of trade secret law at a lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on April 16 at the Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc. (Frederick’s business incubator).  According to the brief, every company has trade secrets that should be kept secure.  Participants at the Lunch & Learn event titled “Essentials of Trade Secret Protection” will learn how to identify company trade secrets, obtain protection through reasonable security measures, and avoid losing protection through public disclosure.  Employers will learn how to avoid claims of theft of trade secrets and unfair competition from former employers, and learn how to protect their confidential, proprietary and trade secret information when beginning an employment relationship.  Lunch will be provided.  RSVP to Renee Wilson at 301-694-2999.
