Trade Secrets

At times, it is prudent for companies to seek trade secret protection instead of patent protection. McLane's Intellectual Property Practice Group works with clients to determine whether trade secret protection is appropriate given the nature of the rights at issue. We counsel clients on establishing effective procedures to secure and protect valuable trade secret information, such as drafting and enforcing non-disclosure agreements, creating internal trade secret protection procedures, negotiating trade secret licenses, and litigating trade secret rights
