Eric Barton quoted in Bloomberg BNA
Eric Barton was quoted in "Trade Secret Cases Surge as Race for New Tech, Top Talent Heats Up," a May 10 story from Bloomberg BNA on how companies racing to create blockbuster new technologies in fields such as robotics, virtual reality and self-driving cars are increasingly hauling each other into court to protect their trade secrets in a series of legal fights that signal the fierce competition in emerging fields. Barton said that litigation over trade secrets is traceable to increased competition over tech-sector employees—a prized commodity.
