Protection of confidential business know-how affects global corporations, mid-sized companies and innovative start-ups in different ways.
We have experience in the protection of developing best practices and methods for the identification, classification, protection and valuation of trade secret assets and the preparation of the evidentiary proofs in trade secret misappropriation lawsuits.
Trade secrets are important in many competitive situations where there is a need for protection by contract, for guidance in employer-employee relationships, areas of confidential information and trade secrets, competitive covenants and manufacturing agreements. We actively counsel our clients with respect to various statutes and laws related to patents, trademarks and copyrights, and the trade secret laws and state employee inventor statutes.
