Dato fra

Hvor

Dronning Mauds gate 11, Oslo

Trade secrets and undisclosed know-how is becoming increasingly important for all businesses, also an alternative to traditional IP protection and assets. With the introduction of the EU trade secrets directive, EU is seeking to harmonize protection of such information and consequently also the commercialization thereof. What are the implications of the directive on national level in the Scandinavian countries? Are we about to enter the golden age of licensing and sales of trade secrets and undisclosed know-how?
