There are two kinds of trade secrets concerns: those of the trade secrets owner who needs to protect its secrets, and those of the creator of new products who needs to avoid misappropriating another’s secrets, however innocently. We provide counseling to clients with both kinds of concerns.
Working with inventors, startup companies and creators of new technologies, we help our clients put into place structures and practices designed to minimize the risk of trade secrets claims being asserted against them, and to maximize their abilities to defend against such claims.
