Barbara Fiacco, partner and co-chair of the Intellectual Property Department and Patent & Trade Secrets Litigation Practice, will speak on the panel, “CDAs: How to Protect Your Trade Secrets and Avoid Contamination of Your Pipeline.” Collaborations, partnerships, and acquisitions are a vital part of business strategy and success for many companies. To get there, valuable confidential information and trade secrets may need to be shared. Your head of BD calls and wants quick turnaround on a CDA to start a negotiation -- but when it comes to CDAs, one size does not fit all. How do you minimize the risk associated with disclosing to a potential partner your valuable information and/or receiving that information from another party? This panel will discuss various scenarios and identify provisions that you should consider in your CDA to balance risks, obligations, and resources needed to be ready when you get that call.
