🤫Trade secrets are a widely used but understudied form of intellectual property. Our forthcoming Management Science paper investigates trade secret use at the project level & provides evidence that firms respond to trade secret legal protection by increasing use of secrets. lnkd.in/dJVScxJxhttp...

We identify effects by comparing trade secret ingredient use in response to the federal defend trade secrets act (DTSA) across states with lower state level protection (i.e., high treatment) and higher state level protection (low treatment).

Graph depicts share of wells with any trade secret ingredient, comparing wells in high treatment states and those in low treatment states. Those in high treatment states become roughly equivalent to those in low treatment states post-federal policy (DTSA).

🤐 While often impossible to study, we know firms protect their (often, most important) IP using trade secrets.

@aldona.bsky.social and I found a way to observe and study them. We find trade secret use & novelty increases following increased legal protection.

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots.

In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city
