Trade secrets can be among some of the most valuable assets in a company, and companies are increasingly looking to add trade secret protection to their IP portfolios. Trade secrets are a form of intellectual property that allows a company to maintain a competitive advantage over its market competitors. Trade secrets also protect the company’s confidential information, which can be critical in driving profitability. Furthermore, trade secrets can help a company stay ahead of the competition by preventing competitors from obtaining and using the company’s ideas and inventions. By protecting, maintaining, and enforcing a company’s trade secrets, businesses can remain competitive and successful in their respective industries.

NK Patent Law's trade secrets practice group can assist in providing a manageable approach to protecting and maintaining clients' trade secrets across various industries and technologies.
