About this book

This judicial guide examines the practical arrangements needed when a court orders the seizure of material under the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016. Prepared in response to Congress’s request, it addresses the handling and protection of potentially sensitive information during that process.

The recommendations cover selecting law enforcement officers, technical experts and substitute custodians, as well as disclosures, transportation, storage and access controls. Detailed provisions connect the legal requirements with the operational decisions a court must make. The complete 2017 publication preserves its introduction, acknowledgments, numbered recommendations and supporting notes.
