Each week, I’m going to be posting links to news articles dealing with trade secrets from the prior week. If you want to get links to the articles throughout the week, follow me on twitter at @BlogTradeSecret, where I frequently tweet out links to trade-secrets articles. And also check out John Marsh’s excellent Trade Secrets Litigator blog, which has a wrap up of the week’s noteworthy trade-secret posts on Fridays.
