Understanding these distinctions equips businesses and innovators to make informed decisions on how to most effectively protect their IP.

During this presentation, Fish attorneys Craig Deutsch and Kiersten Batzli will compare and contrast patents and trade secrets, including how to obtain and enforce them and how to determine which is best for your IP. Craig and Kiersten's discussion will cover:
