Trade Secrets & Industrial Technology
Overview
Trade secret and industrial technology disputes frequently arise during personnel movement and transactions with partner companies. Whether the requirements of confidentiality management, non-public status, and economic utility are satisfied is the key point of contention. When infringement is suspected, a swift preservation strategy and forensics approach that accounts for the possibility of evidence destruction is critical. Civil, criminal, and administrative procedures must be coordinated to prevent the expansion of damage. The LIN IP Team provides comprehensive responses that review technology, organizational, and security frameworks together.
