Christian E. Picone and Kathleen F. Sherman were recently interviewed for an article in Smart Business Online, which focused on how to approach trade secret litigation: Trade secret cases are considerably different from other legal disputes, and not being properly prepared could prove costly. “A trade secrets complaint is not like other complaints that can be fixed later if there’s something missing,” says Christian E. Picone, a partner at Berliner Cohen. “Later” comes fast in trade secrets litigation. “A seasoned trade secrets defense attorney will take action right away, essentially freezing discovery until they get an articulated definition of the trade secret.”
