"The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many companies to direct most, if not all, of their employees to work remotely. As a result, trade secrets are no longer under the strict controls of the office environment and are instead being accessed and handled by employees at home. Consequently, to increase the likelihood that trade secrets remain protected under the law, companies confronted with this unprecedented shift in their business operations should reexamine their existing measures on protecting such information."

Miami Associate Jason Miller pens "Protecting Company Trade Secrets During the COVID-19 Pandemic" and lands on the front page of "the Checkoff".

Supreme Court Ruling, today, BOSTOCK v. CLAYTON COUNTY

No. 17–1618, 723 Fed. Appx. 964, reversed and remanded; No. 17–1623, 883 F. 3d 100, and No. 18–107, 884 F. 3d 560, affirmed.

"An employer who fired an individual for being homos*xual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different s*x. S*x plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids."

"Those who adopted the Civil Rights Act might not have anticipated their work would lead to this particular result... But the limits of the drafters’ imagination supply no reason to ignore the law’s demands... Only the written word is the law, and all persons are entitled to its benefit."

"Few facts are needed to appreciate the legal question we face. Each of the three cases before us started the same way: An employer fired a long-time employee shortly after the employee revealed that he or she is homos*xual or transgender—and allegedly for no reason other than the employee’s homos*xuality or transgender status."

BOSTOCK v. CLAYTON COUNTYNo. 17–1618, 723 Fed. Appx. 964, reversed and remanded; No. 17–1623, 883 F. 3d 100, and No. 18–107, 884 F. 3d 560, affirmed.
