Professor Elizabeth Rowe Presents Talk on Trade Secret Law at IU McKinney
09/14/2016
Professor Elizabeth Rowe, an internationally-recognized expert on trade secret law, presented the first Center for Intellectual Property Law and Innovation Distinguished Lecture of the 2016-17 academic year. Her lecture titled “RATS, TRAPS, and Trade Secrets,” took place on September 13 in the Wynne Courtroom at IU McKinney.
“Professor Rowe is the leading authority in Trade Secret law, a very important area of Intellectual Property law,” said Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen, director of IU McKinney’s IP Center. “She was a partner at Hale & Dorr (now WilmerHale) before she entered academia. It is very rare to have a partner at a prestigious national firm become a full-time academic. I believe that her profound scholarship is shaped by her rich legal experience. She has published extensively in both books and law reviews on the latest issues concerning Trade Secrets. Her scholarly work is very relevant to academics, practitioners and policy makers.”
Professor Rowe is the Director of the Program in Intellectual Property Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law, where she is the Feldman Gale Term Professor in IP Law, and a Distinguished Teaching Scholar. Much of her research addresses the intersection of trade secrets with employment law and/or technology, as well as the interplay between intellectual property, government policy, and innovation.
