Theft of Trade Secrets

Sugar Land-Based Commercial Litigation Attorney

Trade secrets are the lifeblood of an organization. They are what set it apart from the rest, giving it the chance to reach the highest levels of success and actually make an impact on the world. Trade secrets are valuable because they are not known to the general public or to other companies who could derive value from their use. They are valuable because they are secret. Accordingly, civil and criminal laws have been put in place to protect trade secrets and provide legal recourse for those whose secrets have been unlawfully compromised.

Trade Secret Theft & Misuse

Trade secrets are a form of intellectual property. This means they are created by human minds. They are not easily quantified and are an intangible asset. This can make them difficult to deal with from a legal standpoint, but our staff is well-qualified to analyze cases involving alleged trade secret theft and misuse in order to determine the best course of action.

Methods, formulas, patterns, techniques, program devices, strategies, designs and processes: these may all be considered trade secrets. If these are compromised in any way, such as an employee selling the secret formula for a barbeque sauce, or a hacker breaching a security system to obtain the design for a new electric car, the wronged party may be able to take legal action. A civil lawsuit may be filed against the at-fault party to seek financial compensation for the losses trade secret theft has incurred.
