Trade Secrets
As opposed to obtaining a patent, registering a trademark or asserting copyrights, by maintaining certain technology and intellectual property as a “trade secret,” clients can further capitalize on their value. Members of the firm’s intellectual property group regularly assist businesses in developing a workable trade secret strategy and are well versed in drafting confidentiality, nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements, all of which are effective mechanisms for keeping trade secrets proprietary.
The enforcement of trade secrets rights often requires speed and decisive action. Our trade secret “strike teams” regularly exercise these skills and routinely assist our clients in protecting their valuable trade secrets rights, including in the areas of technical know-how, customer information and with respect to their own employees.
