In this compelling continuation of CRA Sessions, intellectual property expert and host David Duski (CRA) joins Brian Nolan (Mayer Brown), to further explore the evolving intersection of AI and trade secret law. This episode focuses on the threat artificial intelligence (AI) poses to trade secret protection—particularly whether AI makes trade secrets “readily ascertainable,” potentially disqualifying them from legal protection – and how AI may play a role in assessing an accused misappropriator’s unjust enrichment.
The conversation examines how generative AI may challenge the definition of a trade secret by making proprietary information more easily discoverable, and what that means for legal protections, damages calculations, and competitive strategies.
Drawing from real-world legal cases and the complexities of assessing damages in the age of AI, this episode offers sharp insights for professionals navigating the future of innovation and intellectual property protection.
