Trade secrets are valuable information kept confidential that gives a business a competitive edge. Our team helps you identify protected information and evaluate your options.
California’s Uniform Trade Secrets Act provides remedies when a trade secret is misused. We explain your rights and steps to take.
A trade secret is information that derives value from secrecy and is protected by reasonable efforts to keep it secret. Misappropriation occurs when someone obtains or uses this information without permission.
To prevail, the claim must show the existence of a secret, misappropriation, and improper use or disclosure, along with harm or risk of harm and, where applicable, reasonable measures to protect the secret.
Glossary terms help explain core concepts in trade secret law as it applies in Selma, Fresno County and California.
Information, including a formula, pattern, or process, that derives value from secrecy and is protected by reasonable safeguards.
Wrongful acquisition, use, or disclosure of a trade secret without consent.
Any information shared in confidence that a party treats as secret, even if not legally protected as a trade secret.

Trade secret misappropriation actions differ from patent protection, contract remedies, and other civil claims. We help you understand when pursuing a trade secret claim is appropriate.
