Trade secrets — such as a design, instrument, process, method, or formula — are among an organisation’s most precious assets. If trade secrets are leaked to competitors, a company might lose its unique competitive advantage as well as viability to continue doing business. Despite trade secrets being a significant classification of intellectual property, their handling under the law contrasts with other recognizable sorts of intellectual property. Unlike patent regulation, which proclaims security on originality, trade secret regulations centre around the confidentiality and value of info and are intended to administer business morals. Trade secret protection shields valuable information from being abused regardless of sensible endeavours to keep it secret.

The proficient attorneys at Kurdi & Company help you jealously protect what matters the most to you by creating impenetrable legal security that conforms to the prevailing legal and regulatory requirements.
