Imagine that you’re a top-flight executive with a profitable and growing company that is making huge inroads in your industry due to the astute and well-applied efforts of tech-smart people developing cutting-edge processes and formulas.

Do you think you might want to protect that intellectual capital? In fact, are you routinely focused on absolutely shielding it from robust business rivals that would do just about anything to acquire and seek to profit from it?

Intellectual property law: how a law firm can help

The answer to those questions is self-evident: Of course you’re aware of the great value of your proprietary intellectual property and the vital need to safeguard it from cutthroat competitors.

And you’re further aware that some entities in your business world will not hesitate to seize your most closely guarded secrets by acting illegally to acquire them.

That is, they will steal them in a heartbeat. They will seek to employ your smartest workers and have them divulge information that was developed under your watch and protected by virtue of signed nondisclosure contracts. They will circumvent restrictions in licensing agreements.

Obviously, such things are illegal, with an online primer on trade secrets noting that remedies are available to victimized businesses when third parties misappropriate their treasured trade secrets through “improper means.”

The California Uniform Trade Secrets Act enumerates a number of strong protections against the misappropriation of trade secrets.

In addition to those remedies, California state law also provides that criminal remedies may be pursued in some cases.

A proven business litigation law firm with demonstrated acumen in helping clients with intellectual property-related concerns can answer questions and provide diligent legal representation in any matter regarding trade secrets.

I left a voicemail for Tom late Sunday evening and received a phone call first thing the next morning.

Tom was very quick to reply to any questions I had, and if he was caught up in a meeting, he was sure to return my call promptly.

Tom provided sound and logical advice, during a very stressful and uncertain time. At times I asked him to be more aggressive and was often met with the pros and cons of that decision, allowing me to understand the approach and thought process behind his strategy.

Ultimately he provided options for several paths for us to take, worked swiftly, and got us where we needed to be.

He reached out several times to check on my sanity and make sure I was good.

As someone with very high expectations, I would highly recommend his services. He provided expertise that proved to be successful, and also took the time to make sure I was emotionally solid.

Tom assisted with me with a 50% / 50% ownership conflict.

What was thought to be a simple breach of contract turned into a nightmare. Through their tenacity and their deep knowledge of the law, we were successful. There is no reason to look any further as you will not get any better representation than this firm. I highly recommend them and strongly suggest that if you are considering starting a business or are already managing one, this firm will guide you, avoiding the troubled waters businesses sometimes find themselves in.
