This timely Handbook marks a major shift in innovation studies,
moving the focus of attention from the standard intellectual
property regimes of copyright, patent, and trademark, to an
exploration of trade secrecy and the laws governing know-how, tacit
knowledge, and confidential relationships. The editors introduce
the long tradition of trade secrecy protection and its emerging
importance as a focus of scholarly inquiry. The book then presents
theoretical, doctrinal, and comparative considerations of the
foundations of trade secrecy, before moving on to study the impact
of trade secrecy regimes on innovation and on other social values.
Coverage includes topics such as sharing norms, expressive
interests, culture, politics, competition, health, and the
environment. This important Handbook offers the first modern
exploration of trade secrecy law and will strongly appeal to
intellectual property academics, and to students and lawyers
practicing in the intellectual property area. Professors in
competition law, constitutional law and environmental law will also
find much to interest them in this book, as will innovation
theorists. Contributors include: R.G. Bone, C.M. Correa, R.
