Flat Fee IP
The Frontlines of IP Litigation
Flat Fee IP, published by Greenfield Draa & Harrington, focuses on legal issues related to intellectual property, particularly trade secret misappropriation. The blog discusses topics such as the measurement and duration of damages for trade secret theft, including the application of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act and related case law. It addresses complex questions about when damages should begin and end, the concept of unfair commercial advantage or "head start," and the interplay between trade secret protection and monetary relief. The blog also explores litigation strategies, jury trial rights on unjust enrichment damages, and practical considerations in high-stakes IP disputes.
