In this issue: Top Action Items Under the America Invents Act; E-mail Smoking Guns; and Stopping Trade Secret Misappropriation at the Border: The International Trade Commission Provides A New Shield to Protect Against Theft of Trade Secrets.
As the automotive industry continues to strengthen its position in what we all hope is an improving economy, protecting intellectual property, trade secrets, and company information are on the top of our list for our automotive clients in 2012.
Legislation, regulations, and court rulings impact whether your information and property are protected or can be used against you by your competitors or your adversaries. From last year’s America Invents Act to the Federal Circuit’s decision that helps companies address trade secret misappropriations, our focus in this year’s first Automotive Newsletter offers up a few reminders of what your organizations can do to protect your intellectual property and your information. Some of our reminders are simple--watching inappropriate comments in e-mails. Other reminders require a strong focus on reviewing and modifying processes needed to protect intellectual property or might require taking legal action. Based on our firm’s automotive experience for close to a century, we are keenly aware of the strength of the automotive industry and our combined ability to embrace and address whatever lies ahead of us in this new year. On behalf of the attorneys in Dickinson Wright’s Automotive Practice Department, I wish you great success in 2012.
