Trade secrets can take many forms: a secret formula; a technology; a method; a confidential development plan; a covert marketing program; or other undisclosed, yet valuable, information. They are vital intellectual property assets.
Polsinelli Shughart PC works with clients to effectively keep trade secrets within only the clients’ possession. Yet no system is infallible, so when there is a threat of disclosure or misappropriation of trade secrets information, we have the experience to determine whether litigation is the best remedy. When litigation is the only recourse, we may be able to stop disclosure with a temporary restraining order and an injunction.
Our Trade Secrets litigators have excellent technical and scientific backgrounds. Their understanding of scientific and technical areas is a great advantage, whether serving or responding to discovery, drafting briefs or addressing the judge and jury.
We have defended and prosecuted trade secrets disputes in jury trials, bench trials, evidentiary hearings and appeals. Our clients who work with us on trade secrets issues include manufacturers, transportation companies, biotech companies, animal health and others.
