Trade secret lawyers help businesses and individuals identify trade secrets and how to best protect them. In evaluating the intellectual property of a business, lawyers can perform a due diligence review to help identify and valuate the intangible assets of the business, including trade secrets.

To maintain the rights in a trade secret, it is important that owners implement processes and confidentiality agreements in the business to properly show the owner has taken “reasonable efforts” to maintain the trade secret, which is a vital element to the maintenance of such intellectual property right. What constitutes reasonable efforts depends on the importance of the specific trade secret and the business or individuals’ actions regarding it. Trade secret lawyers create company agreements to help protect intellectual property, such as non-disclosure, non-compete, employment, and confidentiality agreements.

Businesses and individuals should be diligent in seeking counsel on their intangible assets and how to protect them. Proper maintenance of a trade secret can be life or death for a business depending on the secret.
