HGF Partner and IP Solicitor Michelle Davies will be moderating the panel session on ‘Taking responsibility for trade secrets strategy‘.

This panel will cover ‘Proprietary know-how and data are becoming more important to business models and to IP professionals, but only a few companies have a clear and comprehensive trade secrets strategy in place.

  • Expanding the horizons of IP teams
  • Bringing together the many threads of trade secret protection’.

HGF Partner and IP Solicitor Marie McMorrow, IP Solicitor Christie Batty , and Legal Director Yael Shalem will be in attendance at the event.
