What is a Trade Secret

       A trade secret can be a formula, pattern, business data compilation, program, device, method, technique, design, diagram, drawing, invention, plan, procedure, prototype or process, that is not generally known and gives a business an advantage over its competitors who do not have the trade secret.

New Jersey Trade Secrets Litigation Services

       Our New Jersey trial attorneys and offer robust and innovative prosecution and defense strategies to help secure a favorable outcome. The remedies that can be sought are varied and finding which are most appropriate and how to pursue them is critical.

 

       Our firm is one of the very few – and possibly the only firm – to have secured a favorable jury verdict and an award of legal fees for defendants on the basis that a New Jersey Trade Secrets Act claim was prosecuted in bad faith. The case involved a claim that the defendants has misappropriated trade secrets from a technology company, wrongfully solicited customers, and had engaged in the spoliation of evidence by destroying files on a work laptop that would have helped support the plaintiff’s allegations. The plaintiff hired a forensic computer expert and an economist. With the agreement of our clients, our firm limited costs of defense by not hiring a single expert, and then secured a favorable jury verdict on every count after efforts to settle the case without a trial failed. When the plaintiff then appealed to the Third Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, we successfully represented the client to have trial court judgment affirmed.

 

       Our business litigation attorneys represent clients in New Jersey’s state and federal courts and arbitration forums for businesses whose trade secrets have been misappropriated.

Contract Drafting, Review, and Negotiation to Ensure Trade Secret Protection

       Our attorneys have experience drafting, reviewing, and negotiating non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), non-competes, non-solicitations, and other agreements to ensure robust protection of your business’s trade secrets.

       One of the most common ways trade secrets are lost is through an employee, contractor, or partner taking the secret. To prevent this, it is crucial to have a well-crafted agreement that prohibits the people who will have access to the trade secret from using or disclosing it. These “restrictive covenants” can be complex and must satisfy certain legal requirements to be enforceable. They can also be drafted to provide for remedies and enforcement mechanism to assist if one party violates the agreement.

 

        Our business lawyers have extensive experience drafting restrictive covenants that comply with New Jersey law and protects a business’s confidential information.
