On September 19, Axinn partner Matthew Murphy will speak on a panel entitled, "Trade Secret and Global Competition: Examine The US Patent System and Trade Secret and its Impact on US Global Competitiveness?" at the Trade Secret IP Protection & Litigation Summit, being held September 19-20 in Boston. 

Panelists will discuss: 

• Industries turning to trade secret IP protection since 2010 due to a weakening of the legislation system.
• If trade secret contributes towards anti-competitive behavior by industries and a continuing weakening of the patent system.
• What the implications for trade secret protections on US domestic and global competition are.
• What the proper balance between trade secret and patent protection to incentivize competition is.
