Trade Secret Law protects a person's valuable and confidential business information such as proprietary processes and business information. The owner of the secrets can indefinitely prohibit others from wrongfully acquiring his secrets, as long as the owner takes reasonable steps to maintain their secrecy. Madson & Austin has broad experience in the enforcement and litigation of trade secrets, and can help its clients avoid unfair competition by creating confidentiality and non-compete policies and agreements for personnel who handle sensitive company data. Implementing such policies will reduce or eliminate the need for litigation, or enhance the owner's position should litigation be necessary.  |
