Understanding Trade Secret Misappropriation

Trade secret misappropriation involves the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information that gives a business advantage.

We help clients assess risk, preserve evidence, and pursue remedies through litigation or other lawful channels.

Definition and Explanation

A trade secret is information that has economic value because it is not generally known and is subject to reasonable measures to protect its secrecy.

Key Terms and Glossary

This glossary explains common terms used in trade secret law and our approach.

Comparing Legal Options
