Trade Secret Protection

 

Secure your company’s “crown jewels”

Intellectual property law includes protections for a company’s most sensitive business information, which gives a company its competitive edge in the marketplace.

Some examples of trade secrets include:

  • Computer programs and source code

  • Chemical formulas

  • Customer lists

  • Manufacturing processes

  • Profit/pricing information

Unlike patents, trade secret protection can last forever if the proper protections are taken. This includes taking proper legal protections, such as confidentiality agreements, and physical protections, such as securing and limiting access to the trade secrets.
