Intellectual property and trade secrets as relevant assets should receive optimal protection. Since the amendment of the Austrian Unfair Competition Act trade secrets are protected by law.

In cooperation with the ICC Austria, KNOETZL welcomed on its premises several company representatives and in-house counsel. The seminar provided comprehensive information on the protection of trade secrets as well as other IP rights through appropriate measures and contracts.

Patrizia Netal gave insights into protection through contracts and arbitration. Natascha Tunkel provided information on the protection of trade secrets in court.
