Nashville Attorney Autumn Gentry recently wrote “3 Steps to Protect Trade Secrets Under the DTSA,” for Inside Counsel.
The article focused on the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), which federally protects a business’s or individual’s trade secrets including copyrights, patents and trademarks.

Ms. Gentry writes about three steps that businesses can use under the DTSA to protect its intellectual property, including auditing and identifying trade secrets; protecting trade secrets; and revising agreements and policies.
