A business secret is confidential knowledge or information that is capable of giving its holders a competitive advantage in the market.
These secrets include various types of knowledge or information, such as client lists, supplier lists, material lists, ways of setting and calculating prices, strategic plans, marketing techniques, demographic data and methods for doing business. All of these elements, and many others, can constitute confidential information or business secrets and, therefore, are an important asset for their holders.
Protection of these secrets can replace or be carried out in conjunction with other forms of legal protection, such as those conferred by copyright, patents and trademarks.
Our firm has a highly qualified team to help you assess your business secrets strategically and implement technical and legal protection measures. These measures can take various forms, such as the preparation of manuals and internal documents for accessing and handling confidential information, the drafting of employment contracts, confidentiality agreements and licensing agreements, and directing court actions to prevent unauthorized disclosure.
