Program of the WIPO Symposium on Trade Secrets and Innovation 2022

The live discussions will address the various legal, technical, business and policy issues relating to trade secrets in the wider context of the intellectual property system as a whole, in the context of innovation, knowledge creation and dissemination.  Close but complex interconnection between the role of patent systems, trade secret systems, and other supporting mechanisms in the changing global innovation ecosystem renders the topic particularly relevant and appealing.   

The discussions will cover the following elements:

  • The role and impact of trade secrets on innovation policies and strategies today;
  • Balancing legitimate interests in the trade secret system;
  • Trade secrets and data – scope of protection and implications;
  • Trade secrets in the international/cross-border environment;
  • Generation and licensing of trade secrets in business strategies – trade secret management for innovation and sharing of knowledge;
  • Trade secrets in development and dissemination of medical technologies
  • Trade secret enforcement and defense against allegation of trade secret misappropriation.
