Maryland Trade Secret Protection Attorney

You have grown your business by learning and gaining experience. When another company takes what you have worked so hard to acquire without your permission and without compensating you for it, they have stolen your trade secrets.

When you hire, train and employ others to work for your business, you are exposing your trade secrets to potential misuse. There are various instruments we can use to help legally protect your important information such as:

• Supplier lists
• Business plans
• Customer lists and purchasing habits

Policies and contracts such as employment agreements (including noncompete agreements), independent contractors' agreements, consultant agreements, nondisclosure agreements and manufacturing agreements can prevent other parties from taking and profiting from your work at your expense.

In many circumstances, your information is not legally your own unless you take affirmative steps to declare it your own. If someone does infringe on your rights, there will be remedies for you. The mere threat of legal action can motivate parties to cease improper use of your trade secrets. And trade secret litigation remedies include injunctions and monetary damages.

Trial and pre-trial skills are essential to backing up your negotiations and admonitions to those who have done you harm. Attorney Daniel J.
