Thomas Hubert, a partner in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, and Jacob Pritt, an associate in the Labor & Employment Practice Group, co-authored the article "The cost of waiting: why speed often wins in trade secret disputes," published by IAM Patent on May 27, 2026. In the article, Thomas and Jacob discuss the urgency of moving from the initial discovery to filing a trade secrets case in court to protect a company's proprietary information. Additionally, they focused on examples involving a software engineer moving from xAI to OpenAI, the recent Lex Machina finding around the increase in federal trade secret filings, and proactive procedures for detecting potential trade secret leaks.
