The Trade Secrets Vault

"The intent of this blog is to raise consciousness as to the range, extent, predominance and role trade secrets play in day-to-day business and legal environments. The sources of the blogs vary from new on the Web, proprietary sources on the hidden web, jury verdicts, court opinions, reports by government and nongovernmental organizations around the globe as well as fun stuff such as trivia questions about products that are the subject of trade secrets."

Author: Jon R. Cavicchi is intellectual property librarian and assistant professor of research at Franklin Pierce Law Center.
