A trade secret encompasses business information that is not generally known, provides economic value to its owner, and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.
This can include formulas, processes, designs, customer lists, and other proprietary information that gives your business a competitive advantage.
Protecting trade secrets involves implementing confidentiality agreements, limiting access to sensitive information, and educating employees about secrecy obligations.
Legal support is critical to develop effective policies and handle any breaches to maintain your competitive edge.
Prompt action is essential. You should document the suspected misappropriation and consult with an attorney to explore legal remedies such as injunctions or damages claims.
Early intervention can prevent further harm and help recover lost value.
