SUMMARY:The Protection of Know-How and Trade Secrets: A Cross-Border Comparison of the US\, Japan\, China\, Korea\, UK\, Germany\, and Italy with a Focus on Reverse Engineering in the AI Context
DESCRIPTION:Milan/Online\, 31 October 2025 \nAfter LES Italy General Assembly\, we are pleased to organize an international conference on “The Protection of Know-How and Trade Secrets: A Cross-Border Comparison of the US\, Japan\, China\, Korea\, UK\, Germany and Italy\, with a Focus on Reverse Engineering in the AI Context”. \nThe rapid evolution of artificial intelligence has intensified the legal debate around know-how and trade secret protection. This conference explores how Italian and international case law (US\, Japan\, China\, Korea\, UK\, and Germany) approach the boundaries between lawful acquisition\, reverse engineering\, and unfair competition. Special focus is given to the AI context\, where training data use\, contractual restrictions\, and model distillation raise new risks of misappropriation. Recent disputes such as Deepseek v. OpenAI illustrate the tension between innovation and protection: is AI distillation a legitimate technical process\, or a trade secret violation? By comparing divergent national approaches\, the talk highlights compliance pitfalls for cross-border actors and considers whether harmonization is possible. Attendees will gain a practical framework to understand evolving legal standards\, assess risks\, and anticipate litigation trends in this fast-changing field. \nFeatures speakers \n\nMattia Dalla Costa\, President of LES Italy\, CBA (moderator)\nBrian O’Shaughnessy\, Partner\, Dinsmore (US)\nAlida Zentai\, General Counsel\, Huawei (China)\nKenji Tosaki\, Partner Nagashima Ohno & Tsunematsu (Japan)\nSeungyeob Baik\, Founder\, Near & Wise IP Law Office (Korea)\nMichael Rüberg\, Attorney at law\, Boehmert & Boehmert  (Germany)\nToby Headdon\, Of Counsel\, Bristows (UK)\nAntonio Bana\, Partner\, Bana Avvocati Associati (Italy)\n\nThe conference will conclude with closing remarks by Jean Christophe Troussel\, President of LES International. \nThe event is free of charge and open to all. \nOnline access will be available for international attendees. \nTo register\nFor additional info: media@les-italy.org \n
