Frequently Asked Questions

A trade secret includes any information, process, formula, or compilation that provides a business with a competitive advantage and is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy.

Missouri law protects such information as long as it remains confidential and derives independent economic value from not being generally known.

Effective protection involves implementing confidentiality agreements, limiting access to sensitive information, and establishing clear internal policies about handling proprietary data.

Regular employee training and monitoring for unauthorized disclosures further strengthen your trade secrets protections.

If you suspect misappropriation, promptly consult with an attorney to assess the situation and take swift legal action to prevent further damage and secure remedies.

Early intervention can help preserve evidence and maximize the chances of recovering damages or obtaining injunctions.
