Event Description
Preventative measures go a long way in deterring theft of your company’s crown jewels and play a critical role in hurdling the evidentiary bar upon theft. Especially when pursuing injunctive relief to preserve the integrity of and, if necessary, damages for the loss of your company’s most competitive assets – trade secrets.
Join us on Monday, September 30, 2024 at 12pm ET / 9am PT for the next edition of our IHC Intellectual Property Essentials Series, as Mary Guzman, CEO of Crown Jewels Insurance, and Chris Buntel, Co-Founder and CIPO of Tangibly, cover (1) the 4 components of a preventative trade secret program and how these programs set you up to avoid and mitigate litigation costs (2) how crown jewels are invoked by the language of the SEC Cyber Disclosure Rule and (3) how to insure the value of your crown jewel assets.
