Orrick - Trade Secrets Group (JD Supra Germany)

Germany is not only known as one of the best countries for enjoying beer and bratwurst, but it is also known as a country with some of the strictest data privacy laws on the planet. Within this environment, should companies doing business in Germany even consider using cloud services for trade secrets? They should!

As Europe’s largest economy, one might expect Germany to provide robust protection of intellectual property assets such as trade secrets.
