Overview (Program Summary)
As financial institutions increasingly rely on fintech partnerships and artificial intelligence, in-house legal teams are confronted with complex new risks surrounding trade secret protection and misappropriation. This session will explore the intersection of trade secret law and financial technology, with a focus on the practical implications for banks, fintech vendors, and their legal departments. Panelists will discuss how to identify and protect proprietary assets—such as risk models, algorithms, and API architecture—while navigating the unique risks of software licensing deals, regulatory agency disclosures (FOIA), and the use of public AI tools. Attendees will leave with best practices and key takeaways for in-house counsel to actively maintain secrecy and avoid trade secret claims during the sales and development process.
