LAW 6244 - Trade Secrets and Business Torts
Credits: 2
Are these “secrets,” and if so, whose are they? What separates aggressive free enterprise from unfair competition? We explore in detail the use and protection of “ideas and information” in 21st-century business, particularly the law of trade secrets and confidential information. We also explore the boundary between fair and unfair competition (such as actions for tortious interference, defamation and commercial disparagement, false advertising, common law misappropriation, and conspiracy), and practice under the most prominent trade regulation statutes (such as Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and other “Cybertort” statutes, RICO, the Anti-SLAPP Act, civil theft and commercial bribery acts, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act). Issues related to data use, contests, cause-related marketing, hidden endorsements, techniques for ethical investigations, and remedies may be included. No technical background is required.
