Trade Secret and Unfair Competition
A company’s secret information deserves protection from competitors and former employees seeking unfair competitive advantage through illegal means. Cook Brown defends management's claims, protecting proprietary, confidential, and trade secret information through:
- Cease and desist orders;
- Restraining orders;
- Injunctions enjoining the dissemination of secret information;
- Prosecution of lost business and lost economic advantage claims;
- Prosecution against violators of confidentality agreements; and
- Prosecution under non-solicitation agreements.
Cook Brown also advises companies on their rights to compete, and defends businesses accused of trade secret violations, interference with contracts or other unfair business practices.
