Your know-how. Protected by our knowledge. We are your experts in protecting trade secrets.
Trade Secrets
Know-how is one of a company’s most valuable assets. Protect it effectively and comprehensively against theft and misuse.
Inadequate protection of trade secrets can lead to a complete denial of protection during a lawsuit. We work with you to assess your security needs and develop a strategy to protect your trade secrets.
Trade secret protection has been a core area of our practice for many years. As the editor of one of the standard works on trade secret law, Prof. Dr. Henning Harte-Bavendamm knows all about the pitfalls of trade secret protection.
We also keep an eye on related employment and IT law issues.
We fight passionately in court to protect your know-how and prosecute breaches of confidentiality.
In infringement proceedings, you need to prove that you have taken appropriate confidentiality measures to protect your trade secrets. We help you document all the steps you need to take to protect your rights from the outset.
We also defend you if you are accused of leaking secrets. In doing so, we strategically use all procedural means to make it difficult for claims to be enforced.
Improperly drafted confidentiality clauses in employment contracts or non-disclosure agreements can quickly render them ineffective. Avoid this mistake.
We assist you in the careful drafting of NDAs and confidentiality clauses and, if necessary, enforce them for you in court.
