With a highly mobile workforce and the pervasiveness of email and other electronic communications, protecting a trade secret requires awareness, planning, and diligence. First and foremost, trade secret owners must take steps to identify the trade secrets, limit access to the information, and mark documents or correspondence as confidential.
At Clear Sky, we help clients with an array of services, including education on trade secret protection, non-disclosure agreements, and employment contracts. For businesses with a large number of trade secrets, we can help to establish an intellectual property portfolio to track, monitor, and safeguard the data and information that contain trade secrets as well as other types of intellectual property.
