Trade secrets are only a litigation right. That means the ONLY way to guarantee that your company can be indemnified is to insure these valuable assets.

$1.8 Billion trade secret misappropriation cases, like the one recently settled between LG Energy and SK Innovation, are making headlines these days like only patent settlements used to.  We expect this trend towards higher severity damages (which will lead to higher frequency as well) to c

One of our partners, R. Mark Halligan was recently published in Reuters discussing the importance of the EONA proofs when it comes to the success of trade secret litigation. His article, "Pre-filing investigation of a trade secret misappropriation claim: the EONA proofs" highlights the importance of having a Trade Secret Asset Risk Management (TSARM) system in place at every company.

With our offering, Crown Jewel Protector, each client receives the tools to automate their TSARM in addition to a first-of-its-kind policy wording to insure their trade secrets.

We were thrilled to have our CEO included with other industry veterans in Industrial Cyber's recent virtual roundtable.

When explaining why the TSA and its parent organization DHS had compelling reasons to remain opaque about the details of the new directive, Mary Guzman said, “That would be analogous to letting the offense of the opposing team in a football game have your defensive playbook prior to the game. Hackers will go around what they know you are doing to defeat them.”

The new directive demonstrates that U.S. government agencies are taking the threat very seriously – and may impose cybersecurity requirements

Two major headlines in the past ten days:

-IPwe, partnering with IBM’s blockchain group, announces it will be hosting a platform to help innovators monetize patents and other intellectual assets through turning them into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a digital asset. This allows for the tamper-proof sale, purchase, and licensing (and inherent valuation) of these critical assets in a dramatically simpler, faster way than the status quo.

-LG Energy Solution Ltd. settles record-breaking $1.8 Billion trade secret misappropriation case against SK Innovation Co.

These newsworthy events and others like them confirm that the trend towards monetizing IP assets will continue and that there is massive IP value worth protecting. Crown Jewel Insurance already offers a blockchain solution to automate and manage IP risks, in addition to independent valuation of trade secrets, insurance against theft and misappropriation, and litigation support. This 2 minute video explains it all!

Watch out! The newest episode of the Scary Mary Podcast: The Hidden Risk for D&O's is out now. This episode features William Butler, Managing Director at EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants and of course Mary Guzman.
They discuss how D&O, Cyber, and other insurance policies may not respond to first-and-third-party losses that arise from both misappropriation of IP assets and more fundamentally the failure to identify, quantify, and protect your company's crown jewels.

Do you know where/what your IP assets are? Our CEO Mary Guzman was recently published in Agenda Week with Co-Author Philip Antoon of Alvarez & Marsal. It highlights the important roll Board members have to understand and mitigate risks in intellectual property assets, specifically trade secrets.

"Given that an estimated 85% of the value of the S&P 500 is tied up in intangible assets, protecting IP assets — including trade secrets — goes well beyond fiduciary responsibility; it is a critical component of functioning in a competitive market."
