Roy P. Salins, associate, published the article “Trade secrets: At the crossroads of intellectual property and labor and employment law” in a recent issue of Journal of Commercial Biotechnology.

Specifically, Mr. Salins explains the following: how trade secrets are generally defined; the law concerning the enforceability of a contractual provision aimed at protecting trade secrets, as well as common-law protections available to employers; and recent trends in criminal prosecution of employees and former employees who misappropriate trade secrets.
Mr. Salins is a member of Vedder Price’s Labor and Employment and Litigation practice groups.
