Advantage, although Trade

00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,800

00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:31,600
the landmark decision, Vision

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,100

resolved the question in favor 

11
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:38,200
of allowing the states to freely
develop their own trade secret 

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,700
laws, state law in 1979. 
Several US states adopted, the 

13
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,800
uniform Trade Secrets act UTSA, 
which was further amended in 

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,900
1985 with approximately 47 
States, having adopted some 

15
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,900
variation of it as the basis for
trade secret law. 

16
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:59,100
Another significant development 
is the economic Espionage Act 

17

00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,000
The statutory penalties are 
different for the two, Oh, 

25
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,500
offenses.

the information. 
However, The law contains 

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,500
several important differences 
from prior law because it is a 

50
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,900
federal law. 
Trade secret cases can be 

51
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:09,900
prosecuted in federal courts 
with concomitant procedural 

52
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:12,600
advantages. 
It provides for the unusual

liable for misappropriation that

66
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,500
not Crea a supplant state laws, 
but provides an additional cause

67
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:10,300
of action because States vary 
significantly in their approach

86
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Communicating it, the quality of
confidence highlights that trade

87
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,500
secrets are a legal concept with
sufficient effort or through 

88
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:18,100
illegal acts such as breaking 
and entering competitors can 

89
00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:22,300
usually obtained Trade Secrets. 
However, so long as the owner of

90
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:25,000
the trade secret can prove that 
reasonable efforts have been 

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
made to keep the information. 
Confidential, the information 

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,800
remains a trade secret and Emily
remains legally protected, 

93
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:35,700
conversely trade secret owners 
who cannot evidence reasonable

00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:38,400
efforts at protecting, 
confidential information, risk, 

95
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200
losing the trade secret. 
Even if the information is 

96
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,500
obtained by competitors 
illegally, it is for this reason

97
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:47,400
that trade secret owner, shred

approach. 
Instead, recognizing trade,

Indicates that confidential

right European Union. 
The EU adopted a directive on 

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,500
the protection of Trade Secrets 
on May 27, 2016. 

107
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,600
The goal of the directive is to 
harmonize the definition of 

108
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,500
trade secrets in accordance with
existing International 

109
00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:27,400
standards. 
And the means of obtaining 

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,700
protection of Trade Secrets 
within the EU.

United States trade secrets are 
not protected by law in the same

113
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:41,800
manner as patents or trademarks.
Historically, trademarks and 

114
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,100
patents are protected under 
Federal statutes the Lanham act 

115
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,600
and patent act respectively. 
While trade secrets are usually 

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,700
protected under state laws and 
Most states have enacted the 

117
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:56,400
uniform Trade Secrets act UTSA, 
except for Massachusetts, New 

118
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,000
York and North Carolina. 
However since 16, the situation 

119
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,100
changed with the enactment of 
the defend Trade Secrets, act 

120
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,600
DTS, a making Trade Secrets also
protectable under a federal law.

121
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:11,700
One of the differences between 
patents and trademarks. 

122
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,600
On the one hand and trade 
secrets on the other. 

123
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Is that a trade secret is 
protected only when the owner 

124
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,300
has taken reasonable measures to
protect the information as a 

125
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:24,200
secret comparison with 
trademarks Nations, have 

126
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,700
different trademark policies, 
assuming the mark in question 

127
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:31,000
meets certain other standards of
protective Ility trademarks are 

128
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,600
generally protected from 
infringement on the grounds that

129
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,900
other uses might confuse 
consumers as to the origin or 

130
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,800
nature of the goods. 
Once the Mark has been 

131
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,800
associated with a particular 
supplier, similar 

132
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400
considerations, apply to service

And unless it is disclosed to

Consumers for only, then our 
consumers able to associate it 

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,400
with a supplier or Source in the
requisite manner, that a company

137
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,700
plans to use a certain Mark 
might itself be protectable as a

138
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,200
trade secret. 
However, until the Mark is

a trademark rights under us law.

register a trademark in the 
United States, both at the 

142
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,700
federal and state levels, 
registration of trademarks 

143
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:21,800
confers, some advantages, 
including stronger protection in

144
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,600
certain respects, but 
registration is not required. 

145
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,200
In order to get protection. 
Registration may be required in

the patent office and upon 
publication or issuance will 

150
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:44,800
then be available to all after 
expiration of the patent. 

151
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,200
Competitors can copy the method

regarded as a trade-off for. 
Thus, disclosing the information

154
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,600
to the public. 
It may be possible to obtain

patent protection for a trade 
secret in order to Tina patent. 

156
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,900
The inventor must disclose The 
Invention so that others will be

able to both make and use the 
invention to obtain a patent in 

158
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,000
the United States. 
Any preference for the motive, 

159
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
practicing, the invention must 
be disclosed often, an invention

160
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,100
will be improved after filing of
the patent application, and 

161
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:19,000
additional information will be 
learned. 

162
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,900
None of that additional 
information must be disclosed 

163
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:24,900
through the patent application 
process, and it may this be kept

164
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:28,100
as a trade secret. 
That none disclosed information 

165
00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,600

such means as the use of a 

171
00:09:43,308 --> 00:09:46,700

compared to patents, the 

172
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:49,600
advantages of Trade Secrets are 
that a trade secret is not 

173
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,300

174
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,700

revealed to the public.

180
00:10:10,700 --> 00:10:14,200
