Trade Secrets

Information that is not publicly known is protectable by the law of trade secrets. Trade secret protection is typically used when a technology is not protected by a patent. Non-disclosure agreements are commonly used by inventors to protect their trade secrets before they show their invention to outside parties.  Inventors commonly sign “boilerplate” non-disclosure agreements they find online. However, non-disclosure agreements can be subject to numerous pitfalls and an attorney should always prepare and review non-disclosure agreements signed by any party. We can:

• review and prepare non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
• perform trade secret audits and help ensure your trade secrets maintain trade secret status
• pursue remedies if someone has misappropriated your trade secrets
