Knowledgeable Attorneys Helping Businesses

Intellectual property often begins as a mere idea or concept that is then developed further. As it grows, it can become the basis of formulas used in a particular business or products developed by a certain company. The potential of an idea can be limitless, which is why it is important to protect one’s creations soon after conceiving them. At Stok Kon + Braverman, our experienced lawyers understand the importance of safeguarding intellectual property. Our lawyers have helped a number of clients with issues such as trade secrets, non-compete agreements, trademarks, copyrights, patents, and more.

Trade Secrets

Trade secrets generally include information like confidential client lists, sensitive marketing information, formulas, processes, unpatented inventions, and any business materials that provide a company with an advantage in its field. Trade secrets can be vital to the success of a business. Since many types of information can fit into this category, protecting them can be tricky. In general, however, material is more likely to constitute a trade secret if it is only known inside the business, is only accessible by employees or certain key individuals in the company, is considered confidential, is valuable to the business, and is not easy for those outside the company to access. It is important to take concrete steps to protect this information by identifying and documenting it, limiting its distribution, using non-disclosure agreements, and seeking the advice of counsel to fully understand your options.
