Trade Secrets

Keeping Trade Secrets to Yourself
A software company approached us with its concern that employees were stealing trade secrets. Previously, we had helped the client establish a trade secret protection program, including marking documents appropriately, developing policy manuals, and strengthening employment and consulting agreements. This program allowed us to identify and document employee violations. The employees were terminated, and we sent out strongly worded warning letters to those terminated. The trade secrets have since remained secret.
