In deciding Kewanee, the Supreme Court didn't just preserve trade secret law; it restored to it a measure of respectability.
The possibility that an inventor who believes his invention meets the standard of patentability will sit back [and] rely on trade secret law . . . is remote indeed.
May 13 marks 50 years since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its 1974 opinion in Kewanee v. Bicron, considered the most important trade secret case of the century.
