Trade Secret Protections
Unlike filing a copyright or patent application, it is important that trade secrets not be made public. We advise our clients to secure their information so it is not released to the public or their competitors. Our role can be to identify your trade secret information, product or process and help protect it.
A trade secret may be protected in the following ways:
- Developing security measures regarding who has access to the information
- Creating a record of the information and restricting its access
- Setting in place limited entry on the premises or computer networks to protect your valuable information
- Advising and writing up an employee handbook or policy addressing how your trade secret information is to be handled
Our firm is experienced in helping our clients implement the necessary policies and procedures to protect the value of their trade secret.
