Trade Secret Litigation

Trade secrets protect many of a company’s most-valued intellectual assets, such as formulas, fabrication techniques, data compilations, and business intelligence. With the high employee turnover, shortened lifespan and digitization of technology, and complex business structures of today’s competitive environment, protecting trade secrets has never been more important. Deciding if, when, and how to litigate a possible misappropriation is a critical part of maintaining trade secret protection and enforcing a robust intellectual property strategy. When litigation is necessary to resolve a trade secret dispute, we are ready to assist, whether the claim is brought in state court, federal court, or in the International Trade Commission.
