Knobbe Martens Talks Trade Secrets

In this episode of Medtech Matters, a podcast focused on the medical device manufacturing industry and the factors impacting it, we speak with Adam Powell, a partner at Knobbe Martens. He provides clarification on what qualifies as a trade secret. He also shares best practices for companies who hire an employee from a direct competitor to avoid any potential legal issues or concerns. Specifically, the following questions are addressed.

  • What is a trade secret?
  • What are some of the methods companies should be using to protect confidential information?
  • What should a company do if an employee took confidential information?
  • What should a company do if they hire an employee from a competitor?
  • Where is the line drawn between trade secret and acquired experience? What about implementing best practices?
