Confidentiality Agreements and Trade Secrets Protections
Strategies for Maintaining Your Advantage Over the Competition
Developing and mature businesses alike have a great interest in keeping aspects of their products or services secret. Whether it's the Colonel's secret recipe or an investment firm's coveted client list, a trade secret may be the most valuable asset in any partnership, professional practice or corporation.
The law firm of Kunzler, Needham, Massey & Thorpe (KNMT) can help you protect your trade secrets by executing confidentiality agreements with other companies and employees, non-compete clauses in employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements and a host of innovative and technical means of keeping your confidential business information confidential.
An experienced intellectual property attorney at KNMT can help you draft effective confidentiality agreements and review existing contracts in search of potential loopholes or inconsistencies that may become problematic in the future.
As proven trial lawyers, our team has substantial experience in the litigation of confidentiality agreement violations, the enforcement of non-compete clauses and in unfair competition lawsuits from both the plaintiff and defense perspective.
Trade Secret Protection
A company or business is entitled to protection for many items even it they are not patented. Items such as customer lists, business processes, and inventions among other proprietary interests, can all be subject to trade secret protection.
Often when an employee leaves a company or business there is a chance they may take with them the knowledge of particular business plans, processes and other confidential information that may disadvantage their former employer.
At KNMT we work to protect our clients from the use of misappropriated confidential or trade secreted information.
