Cases and materials on trade secret law by Elizabeth A. Rowe, and Hamline Law School Professor Sharon K. Sandeen. KF3197 .R69 2012
From Amazon:
This, the first casebook in the United States devoted exclusively to trade secret law, is challenging yet user-friendly to students in order to facilitate their reading and understanding of the material. This casebook is designed to be used by law students (and business students) with no prior background in intellectual property law. The authors have made conscious and thoughtful decisions about the way in which the information throughout the casebook is presented and organized. The general organization of the casebook follows a logical analytical approach to understanding trade secret law, with the chapters progressing from proving the essential elements of a trade secret claim to defensive tactics and remedies, managing trade secrets, and criminal actions. It also addresses employment, management, and international issues.
