Trade Secret Overview

Build Trade Secret Barriers with Security Measures and Agreements.

Virtually every piece of useful or valuable information a company creates, from processes, software and other technology to marketing plans, customer lists and other business information, should initially be treated as a trade secret. This boundary of protection should be implemented to safeguard all potentially useful or valuable information from public disclosure and unauthorized use.
