Discovery of trade secrets
Article Abstract:
There are solutions for the problem of protecting trade secrets when involved in a patent case charging violation of trade secrets, as shown by an analysis of case law. The problem exists due to the requirements of discovery. Courts have creative options for protection of secrets, such as protective orders barring the general public. Protection from parties in the suit could involve requirements for specification of secrets and the method of violation, or deferral of discovery for the secrets, or restriction to attorneys.
