Trade Secrets and NDAs

Trade secrets are confidential business information that have value because they are not generally known and are the subject of efforts by the business to keep the information confidential. The most well known example of a trade secret is the formula for Coke. Every company, however, has trade secrets (e.g., customer lists, source code for software, methods of creating products, etc.). Every state has enacted laws to protect trade secrets. There are also federal laws that provide additional protection for trade secrets by way of severe civil and criminal penalties for theft or other misappropriation of trade secrets.

Next iPod Nano Sighting, Plus That iPhone Nano Rumor

Colleague Cliff Edwards, next door on Tech Beat reports having seen a device he theorizes is a next-generation iPod nano, sporting a touch screen. (Sorry no pictures.) He argues pretty convincingly that its a likely change for the fall. I’ve been thinking that the transition to the current nano model, nicknamed “little fatty� had happened too recently for it to be time for a major change to the nano. But then there’s the issue of consistent look and feel. If the iPod touch is now the flagship of the iPod family, and it looks like an iPhone, then shouldn’t the nano also look more like an iPhone as well, and as such sport a touch screen? Makes perfect sense to me.

Apple iPod Nano (PRODUCT) Red Special Edition

(Review) - As if the iPod Nano didn’t already have a number of flavors, Apple had to release a special edition just for kicks. You can think of the new iPod Nano (PRODUCT) Red as the U2 version of the Nano series. We can’t say we dislike the new (PRODUCT) Red, since it’s quite vibrant and rather unique, yet minimal. Also, the features and specifications are exactly the same as other Nano players, except the (PRODUCT) Red is made for a good cause, which we will get to later in the review.

Trade Unions call for REACH amendment to cover nanomaterials

European labour unions have called on the European Commission to amend the REACH regulation on chemicals to better protect workers against nanomaterials throughout their lifecycle. Their call comes shortly after the EU executive argued that nanotech is already covered by existing EU regulation.

Court Clarifies Statute of Limitations for Trade Secrets

When it comes to determining liability for stolen trade secrets used by unsuspecting third parties, the question in litigation often becomes who knew what when? It has not always been clear when the statute of limitations for these third-party lawsuits begins ticking. Does it start when the trade-secret owner realizes its stolen intellectual property has been licensed to third parties? Does it begin when the trade-secret owner files a lawsuit against the company that stole the secrets and then licensed them to others? Or does it only begin counting down when third-party users are notified that they possess stolen IP?
