Trade Secret Litigation
Dallas, Texas Litigation Law Attorneys
Your business “know-how” is important and a vital key in providing you a competitive advantage. Occasionally, competitors or employees try to make off with important trade secrets to start their own businesses. In many cases, this is illegal.
Texas law protects your “trade secrets,” a term which is broadly defined. Trade secrets are the confidential information that provide a company with advantages over competitors. Trade secrets are governed by the Texas Uniform Trade Secret Act, and are defined as information that has economic value because it is not generally known, and which a company has made reasonable efforts to keep secret. Examples of trade secrets include:
- Formulas
- Patterns
- Compilations and lists
- Programs
- Financial data
- Business plans
- Clients
- Contract terms
- Pricing strategies and method
- Processes/methods
As a business, ensuring your trade secrets are safeguarded requires you as a business owner to focus on three items:
- Proactive protection with the property agreements
- Streamlined processes in identifying potential issues for quick action
- The pursuit of available legal remedies when trade secrets are misappropriated, used, or disclosed without authorization
