PTS 4B: The Joiner-Mover-Leaver Protocol

Trade secret protection isn’t a static policy—it’s an ongoing operational process. In this episode, Professor Seth C. Oranburg introduces the Joiner-Mover-Leaver Protocol, a practical framework for managing confidentiality risk across the employee lifecycle. You’ll learn how to design structured procedures for onboarding new hires, updating access and obligations during internal transitions, and safeguarding information when employees depart. Through real-world examples—including United States v. Jin and Bimbo Bakeries USA v. Botticella—this lecture shows how disciplined documentation, access control, and training transform “reasonable efforts” from theory into courtroom evidence.
