Trade secrets are valuable assets that are often used in tandem with intellectual property rights such as patents, trade marks, designs and copyright. While Strasbourg has shown a willingness to find that trade marks, patents and copyright fall within Article 1 Protocol 1 of the ECHR and thus that their protection is a type of human right, it does not follow that the same should be the case for trade secrets. Unlike these intellectual property rights, trade secret protection is not recognized as proprietary in the domestic law of signatory states. Article 17 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, in referring to ‘intellectual property’ as a type of possession, does not assist with the enquiry in the EU context because it is unusual for Member States or EU law to characterise trade secrets as intellectual property. As well, TRIPs obligations do not mandate intellectual property protection. If Strasbourg or Luxembourg were nevertheless to find that trade secrets are within the right to property then this would be likely to create pressure to apply strict liability to third parties, interpret exceptions restrictively and provide for strong enforcement measures. Thankfully, the recently proposed EU Trade Secrets Directive rejects a robust property approach to the protection of trade secrets and instead demonstrates a more balanced unfair competition type model. While the benefits of harmonization in this field may be questioned, the movement away from property rights should be welcomed.

Innovation Spaces in Asia provides insight into how and why Asia is poised to impact global innovation. Asia is undergoing rapid developments in markets, sources of technology and user preferences. A key characteristic of the book is the rich empirical understanding of the dynamic processes, involving the strategic decisions of firms and entrepreneurs with the broader socio-economic environment in terms of institutions, markets, knowledge and innovation systems. Innovation spaces are analyzed within Asian countries and firms, from Asia to the world, and from the world to Asian countries.

Highway traffic can be conveniently represented with cumulative counts. Expected cumulative counts can be used to more accurately predict travel times. This chapter on modeling travel times along signalized streets is from a book of essays published in honor of David Boyce for his contributions to the fields of transportation modeling and regional science. In this chapter, the authors consider the use of expected cumulative counts for estimating and predicting vehicle travel times between two points, with the application to signalized intersections. The authors discuss how to estimate expected travel times of vehicles with known preferred speeds; the concept of FIFO (first in, first out) traffic; L curves and their use for non-conserved traffic and for signalized streets; and selected field data that demonstrates the use of expected cumulative counts, including congestion level, the type of signal controller, road segment length, signal progression, and traffic entering and exiting between intersections. The authors use three actual case studies to compare the predicted expected travel times to the measured travel times of individual vehicles. The results indicate that cumulative L curves should be considered as a feasible approach to modeling travel times along signalized streets for a wide range of traffic conditions.
