Using Collaborative Learning: Capture Value from Innovation through Law of Confidence & Trade Secrets
(inLab) Learning & Innovation Series: 1
Synopsis:
Jigsaw Learning is a method in Collaborative Learning to promote cooperative activities in a special way. It shall be used to illustrate that what a participant teaches others enable him/her to acquire understanding and mastery. Here, we examine ways to implement effective and experiential IP considerations when learning is designed, developed, and delivered. This seminar provides future-ready skills in applying Law of Confidence and Trade Secrets in their work such as learners, designers/facilitators, research scientists and engineers, programmers, and particularly CEO, CTO, CIO, CLO, and everyone keen in the TAE (Training and Adult Education) sector.
The Singapore IP Strategy 2030 has extended the idea of intellectual property, creative works, and technology management from natural science to learning innovation and in the broader context, knowledge transfer for the humanities and social sciences.
A Case Law (SG) is used to illustrate the implications of the decisions and offer some thoughts on how listeners can apply the learnings. It covers:
a) What conditions must be satisfied for IP rights to arise?
b) What may an “infringer” do to breach confidence? And are there applicable defences or exceptions?
c) Who can sue and what charges can you bring?
d) How business can exploit IP rights?

Objective
Collaborative learning activities drive active training. It is an alternative to lecturing and is commonly used as variation of a study group. Jigsaw learning method is used to show that what a participant discusses and teaches others can enable him/her to acquire understanding and mastery. This is done by giving different “assignments” to different participants to prompt them not only to learn together but also to teach others.

Registered participants shall be given different sets of IP-related content and a chance to learn something that, when combined with the material learned by the others, form a coherent body of knowledge or skill.
Intellectual property is a driver of economic growth both nationally and for your company. The government and enterprises are making great strides in building the IP value life cycle (create, protect, manage, and enforce) with hopes that the IP ecosystem can support innovation activities and connect businesses to the global markets.
“It is important for companies to invest in R&D, and own Intellectual property rights. This will give them the competitive edge when they compete in the global marketplace” (Develop unique capabilities, Minister Gan Kim Yong, MTI, 19Mar22).
As such, knowledge-intensive business services need to be equipped with the tools and know-how to manage their IP and to capture value from innovation, for growth, expansion, and internalisation.
LI Series 1 study a Case to illustrate the learnings. It covers:
a) What conditions must be satisfied for IP rights to arise?
b) What is the test for infringements?
c) Are there applicable defences, exceptions or permitted uses?
d) Who can sue and what charges can you bring?
e) How do businesses exploit IP rights? How about Trade Secrets?
While an owner can sue an infringer and seek remedies, if he does not success in his claim of infringement, he may find himself liable for a claim for making groundless threats of infringement.
CASE STUDY FOR LI Series 1 - Law of Confidence:
“A company (Plaintiff) has claimed for, inter alia, breach of confidence against its ex-employee and a competitor company (Defendant, Infringer) setup by its ex-employee. They have accessed, circulated, and referred to the Plaintiff’s confidential information. While still during employment, the ex-employee has retained and used log-in credentials given by the Plaintiff to access and download the plaintiff’s confidential materials on few occasions”
The High Court dismissed the claims. On Appeal, the Court of Appeal reviewed the law of confidence and held that the breach of confidence was valid. Did the application of “there must be unauthorised use and detriment on the party who disclosed the information” had switched the Court of Appeal? A Modified Test was used to show proof of “conscience”.
