LES Webinar: Hot Topic Tuesday - Developments in Trade Secret Damages

The recent decision in Appian v. Pegasystems raised eyebrows, as it awarded over $2 billion in damages for trade secret misappropriation.  While the award itself is among the largest ever in an IP litigation, it occurred in the context of growing focus on trade secrets as a significant source of value both in companies’ operations and in the courtroom.  This presentation will discuss some of the relevant takeaways from Appian against the broader backdrop of some recent developments in the area of trade secret damages.
