What Are Trade Secrets and Why Do They Matter?
Trade secrets, like designs, processes, formulas, or even customer lists, include confidential business information that provides a competitive advantage.

Frequently Ask Questions
What qualifies as a trade secret, and how do I know if my information is protected?What types of work can be protected by copyright?
A trade secret includes any information, design, process, formula, or customer list that gives your business a competitive advantage by remaining confidential. To qualify as a trade secret, the information must be valuable, not commonly known, and actively protected by the business. Our trade secrets attorneys can help you assess your business information and advise you on the best steps to ensure it remains secure.
What steps can I take to protect my trade secrets?
To protect your trade secrets, it’s essential to limit access to the information, use secure storage methods, and implement legal agreements like non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements.
Our trade secrets lawyers can guide you through these preventive measures, tailoring them to your business’s needs. We also offer drafting services for restrictive covenants, such as non-compete agreements, to help you safeguard your trade secrets from potential breaches.
What can I do if my trade secret has been misappropriated?
If you suspect that your trade secret has been misappropriated—meaning it was obtained or used without permission—our trade secret litigation lawyers are here to help.
We can work with you to assess the situation, identify evidence of misappropriation, and pursue legal action if necessary.
Remedies may include financial compensation, court orders to prevent further misuse, and, in some cases, punitive damages for willful violations.
How are trade secret protections different from patents or trademarks?
Unlike patents or trademarks, trade secrets do not need to be registered and can be protected indefinitely, as long as they remain confidential. Patents and trademarks require public disclosure and have a set duration of protection, while trade secrets rely on confidentiality to retain their value. Our IP trade secrets attorneys can advise you on the best intellectual property protection for your business and help you determine if trade secret protection is the right fit for your needs.
