TOPIC: Trade Secret Protection v. Patent Protection: Which protection is best for your IP?
This 1.5-hour presentation will present a "Point/Counter-Point" type of discussion vying to show which manner of protection -- patent or trade secret law -- will best protect your clients' intellectual property.

Emphasizing the respective strengths and weaknesses of each manner of protection, this presentation will hopefully entertain as well as educate about recent developments in patent and trade secret law -- with particular focus on the U.S. Supreme Court's upoming decision in Bilski v. Kappos -- and how those developments may impact intellectual property as a whole.
