  • Description: Trade Secret Law is the first and only book in the Nutshell series to cover trade secret law in depth. It was written as a companion to Cases and Materials on Trade Secret Law by Rowe and Sandeen (the first casebook on trade secret law), but adds more practical advice. Thus, it is a useful resource for attorneys and law students alike. It could be a supplement to a course on trade secret law or an IP survey course that covers trade secret law, as most now do. Like the casebook, it focuses on the predominate state law governing trade secrets in the U.S.: The Uniform Trade Secrets Act (now applicable in 49 of 50 states), as well as the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (DTSA). This Nutshell addresses both international and criminal enforcement of trade secret rights. The Third Edition has been expanded and includes significant legal, legislative, and administrative developments, as well as recent cases applying and interpreting the DTSA.
