Trade Secret Protection, Enforcement & Litigation
Texas Intellectual Property Attorneys
713-909-7323
Aggressively protecting propriety information that is unique to your company and instrumental to its operations is vital. A single technological breakthrough, marketing innovation, business strategy, client list or major client information can be the key to sustained success. At Hendershot Cowart, P.C. we help our clients prevent, contain, and obtain redress for misappropriation or theft of trade secrets.
Our business attorneys regularly draft, implement, defend and enforce agreements such as:
- Confidentiality/nondisclosure agreements
- Non-solicitation agreements
- Non-compete agreements
- Non-circumvention agreements
- Licensing or Technology Development Agreements
- Work-for-Hire Agreements
Trade secret cases are a particularized area of intellectual property law – and because of this, attorneys who deal with trade secret and non-compete matters must be familiar with the procedural and fundamental nuances of misappropriation claims.
How our business and intellectual property lawyers help you protect your business from trade secret and non-compete violations:
- Work with trade secret owners to identify their trade secrets and then set up and maintain comprehensive trade secret protection programs
- Advise clients on avoiding issues with the trade secrets rights of others when developing new products or when hiring from competitors
- Develop and negotiate confidentiality agreements with employees, partners, suppliers and customers
- Advise clients on physical security measures to take to keep trade secrets private, such as using passwords, marking information as confidential and keeping confidential information away from general servers.
- Draft, review, analyze, negotiate and/or help enforce non-compete agreements, nondisclosure agreements (NDAs), and other contracts including work-for-hire agreements
- Draft, advise and implement confidentiality agreements in business transactions and licensing agreements
- Assessment of market activity such as client "poaching," which may constitute a non-compete agreement violation or tortious interference of contract
- Utilizing the full range of legal tools at our disposal to obtain an injunction or establish temporary orders
- Taking your case to trial or through arbitration and aggressively litigating your rights in a dispute to stop misappropriation and/or recover damages
