Your confidential technical information, source code and business information are all valuable assets, and competitors and former employees routinely seek the competitive advantages those assets provide to your company. Baker Donelson's intellectual property litigation attorneys are highly experienced in both the practical approaches and litigation strategies required to rapidly respond to the misappropriation (or theft) of your trade secrets. From prevention to protection, we represent international corporations, entrepreneurial start-ups, and everything in between.
We have filed many motions for temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions to preserve the confidentiality and prevent the use of wrongfully acquired trade secrets. When a practical, common sense solution is insufficient and litigation becomes necessary, Baker Donelson provides you with a skilled team of intellectual property litigation attorneys to aggressively protect your assets. Our experience ranges from the protection of highly technical business information to confidential computer source code, from franchisor procedures and recipes to sensitive customer relations fundamental to your company’s success.
We can also assist your company in assessing what information is at risk in this increasingly digital world. Drawing on our litigation and employment resources, Baker Donelson's intellectual property litigators and employment attorneys work collaboratively to devise and implement legal and business procedures for protecting your valuable business information, including drafting nondisclosure, confidentiality, non-competition and other agreements and policies designed to protect your business secrets.
