Today, I am co-presenting at the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Trade Secret Summit in Boston.
Below is an excerpt from a paper that provides an update on state law legislative developments relating to non-competes and trade secrets.
In 2015, several states have recently introduced or passed legislation dealing with the law of trade secrets and non-compete agreements.
