Last February, I had the privilege of speaking at the State Bar of Texas’s Intellectual Property Law Workshop. This year’s theme was IP Issues with Technology Startups, and my speech was Protecting your Startup Client’s Intellectual Property and Customer Relationships: The Intersection of Trade Secrets, Confidentiality Agreements, and Covenants Not to Compete. As a springboard for my speech, I discussed the pilot episode of Silicon Valley, which, as others have pointed out, has all sort of intellectual property issues to explore.
For those interested in viewing the speech, you can register for the class here. And you can read the article here: Protecting your Startup Client’s Intellectual Property and Customer Relationships: The Intersection of Trade Secrets, Confidentiality Agreements, and Covenants Not to Compete
Personally, though, I would recommend binge watching Silicon Valley and just doing the opposite of what those guys do.
