Camilla Hrdy on Trade Secrets and Their Discontents

In this episode, Camilla Hrdy, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Akron School of Law, discusses her article "The General Knowledge, Skill, and Experience Paradox," which will be published in the Boston College Law Review. Hrdy begins by explaining what a trade secret is and when trade secrets are protected and can be enforced. Then she discusses exceptions to trade secret protection, especially the "general knowledge, skill, and experience" exception. She explains how it differs from the "generally known" exclusion, and why it is important to understand those differences. And she reflects on how the exception can help us better understand the purpose and structure of trade secret law. Hrdy is on Twitter at @CamillaHrdy.This episode was hosted by Brian L.
