Patent and Trade Secret Strategies for IP Management
A Conversation Between Gordon Smith and Karl F. Jorda
How can patents and trade secrets be used together in the management of intellectual property? Distinguished Professor of IP Management Gordon V. Smith recently sat down for a conversation with Professor Emeritus Karl F. Jorda to discuss Jorda's work on the complementariness of patents and trade secrets.
In this brief 14-minute podcast, Jorda describes some of the practical ways to use patents in concert with trade secrets to effectively protect intellectual property. Smith addresses some of the concrete, but often neglected, methods companies should use to protect their trade secrets.
The discussion refers to Professor Jorda's article, "Patent/Trade Secret Complementariness: An Unsuspected Synergism" 48 Washburn L.J. 1, and his 2008 Foulston Seifkin Lecture at Washburn Law School.
