Information on Trade Secrets Litigation from a Los Angeles Trade Secret Lawyer
Trade secrets are the heart of your company’s manufacturing / marketing niche. A trade secret can range from a new chemical composition for a household cleaner to a unique method of making candy or ice cream. A trade secret may involve the use of confidential business contacts or the development of confidential business relationships.
Stolen Trade Secret Secrets
When an employee or partner with access to internal company information either leaks that information to competitors or exploits that information when forming his or her own company, the injured corporation has the right to sue for damages.
However, proving the theft of trade secrets and trademark infringement can be difficult. Did the thief knowingly steal the secret, or did they ‘develop’ the secret on their own? Did the thief sign a non-disclosure, non-competition agreement before stealing the secret? Did the thief use an accomplice to steal the secret to disavow knowledge of the theft?
