Under California law, a trade secret is information that has economic value from not being generally known and is protected by reasonable secrecy measures. Remedies may include injunctions, damages, and disgorgement of profits. Ling Law Group can assess your case and advise on options.
Trade secret protection lasts as long as the information remains secret and maintains economic value. As secrets are kept confidential, protection can endure over time; once secrecy ends, protection may diminish. Ongoing safeguards help preserve value.
Remedies include injunctions to stop use and damages for losses. In some cases, additional remedies such as disgorgement of profits may be available and, on appropriate claims, attorney fees may be pursued. The availability of remedies depends on the facts and posture of the case.
Protect confidential information with strong NDAs, access controls, and clear internal policies. Regular staff training and documented security measures reduce risk and support any legal action if needed.
Seek counsel early when you suspect misappropriation or face ongoing disclosure. Early action can limit damages and preserve key evidence, while giving you clear guidance on next steps.
