Comparative Intellectual Property Law

Trade Secret Law is the first and only book in the Nutshell series to cover trade secret law in depth. The Trade Secret Law in a Nutshell addresses both international and criminal enforcement of trade secret rights.

Unlike patents and copyrights, there is very little in the way of international standards or harmonization in trade secrets law. Nonetheless there is a growing realization that variable rules concerning trade secrets impact investment decisions, structuring of multinational businesses, and hiring policies.

Edited by leading IP practitioner Trevor Cook from Bird & Bird, this important title demystifies the law of trade secrets in over 30 jurisdictions, covering substantive and procedural aspects of both criminal and civil law and exploring the final remedies available.
