Trade secrets are an important asset to a business. When your business's trade secrets are in dispute, we can help protect you by going to court to stop illegal theft, distribution or use of your company's trade secrets.
Trade secrets can take many forms. Generally, trade secrets includes information that is confidential to your company and is used to obtain an advantage over competitors. It can include customer lists, computer programs, sales strategy, financial information, procedures, economic data, prototypes, training information and many other forms of business information and data.
Many employers have non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements with their employees. Even if you have not required your employees to sign such a document, you can still prevent former employees from using certain confidential and proprietary information.
If your trade secrets are stolen - whether by current or former employees, competitors or others - you need to act quickly to stop further disclosure of the information. This can be done by way of a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction. In addition, you may be entitled to seek actual damages, exemplary (punitive) damages and attorneys fees.
